Solution
It's most likely your PSU. Random restarts like that at gaming load are a good indicator. You should look at getting a replacement, and resist the urge to keep using the current one. If it goes while your system is on, you risk killing some components, or starting a house fire!

Get something like this will fix it:

Your current Corsair is an average PSU at best. Time for something new, and quality.

Always check layer 1 (Physical) "PSU" Check your PSU for loose power cables from the wall.
Also check your PC internally making sure your 24Pin and 4 Pin or 8+4 pin in some cases are connected securely to your motherboard ..

You could also be experiencing what's called "Dirty Power" If you got a multi-meter you can test the output from the wall. Should be 120V for USA

Another thing that could be happening is over heating, you can monitoring temperatures with something like HWMonitor while heavy gaming session to see that max temperature its reaching.
For instance, CPUS have built in features that shutdown the PC if its overheating to protect the CPU.

If all that comes back good, i would then follow the first comment above, buying a new PSU.

I've been monitoring temps for around a month,GPU temps seem normal but I'll test out the CPU
