First of all here is my system:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
MOBO: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R2.0 BIOS Ver. F3
RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB (2x4gb) @ 1600Mhz / Trancesend 8GB (single Dimm) @1333Mhz (so all RAM is at 1333)
GPU: Radeon R7 260X Sapphire OC 2GB GDDR5
PSU: Coolermaster EX2 625Watt
OS Windows 10 Pro 1511
All of this inside the original Coolermaster Cosmos so there is alot of air and good circulation

Now for the issue I have no idea honestly what the problem is here really, First when playing skyrim I get constant stuttering it can last a few seconds up-to half a minute frozen then continues never crashes. Black Ops 3 doesn't really stutter but after playing for about 5 to 6 minutes it freezes and crashes I actually have to crl+alt+del to get out of it. Battlefield Hardline the cinematic skip and stutter but game play is relatively smooth, Fallout 4 I get 10 to 15 Minutes then crashes saying "the program had to be shutdown and I get debug or close program" option. DOOM3 BFG edition seems to play without incident so as you can see playing games on this machine is not easy however Programs like, Photoshop, In design, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After effects work without a problem I can render a 30min clip in 4K in PP with out even a hiccup same with rendering in Solid Works and Maya no issues, but when it comes to games that's where I keep having issues and the system I know though not the best it is by far not the worst by any stretch of the imagination. Oh and the random shutdowns like the PC loses all power and just goes off it happened a lot a month ago I opened here up re did the wiring (cable management) and it seemed to have stopped until today while installing Battlefield 3 it just turned off. Any help would be cool as to what you think the problem may be event viewer has given me ideas but have led to nothing useful. Thank you all in advance
 
My first tip would be to run only the Fury RAM or Transcend, never mix.

Secondly, I hope you are not overclocking with that PSU.
Random shutdowns are usually caused by PSU getting overloaded.

But I'm leaning mostly towards memory errors, quite regular occurence when mixing brands, timings, sizes, voltages etc.
