Hello and thanks for attempting to help,
I have surfed many threads and have yet to get a definite answer to my problem in terms of my PC.
I will keep it short and concise, I have been experiencing overheating problems for the past 2 months with absolutely no upfront problem (it just started on its own).
I started experiencing very heavy load on my GPU and when I started to play large open-world maps like Squad my PC would just completely shut off due to a component overheating and an overload - (I would also like to mention I've seen my fps struggle a lot as well recently which has had me pretty pissed).
I think it would be worth mentioning that my PC case has been heating up quite a lot recently and I am not sure whether it is because of a poor airflow problem or some component just outright producing a lot of heat as my PC was built by a professional company.
My specs are:
I've had multiple suggestions that I need to change my PSU, that I need to reconfigure my PCIe plugins as I have a 6+2 PCIe cable going into my GPU instead of an 8 pin to distribute the thermal side of things properly, and someone has also suggested changing my airflow in the case. I am willing to invest the money however I just want a definite answer or a few so I don't go spending loads of money on components that don't actually need to be replaced.
I am open to absolutely any questions and I can send pictures as well / run software to test the hardware.
I really want to get to the bottom of this, thank you.

My specs are:
- 1080 ti EVGA 11 GB VRAM (double fan)
- i5 8500 3.8 GHz
- Vengeance single slot 16 GB RAM (I know a double slot would be ideal for performance, but I doubt that it will have any effect on my overheating problems).
- A single fan above the GPU flowing air in and 3 fans in the front blowing the air inside out
- Arctic Alpine CPU cooler (Thermal paste was changed a week ago)
