I have red screen crash with syndicate 2 times and my pc turn off

Solution
Yes, it is mostly likely caused by the ref. RX480 that will draw too much power from PCI-E slot. It will draw over the maximum 65W power allowed from the motherboard if you still use old driver for the card.
It could also be caused by insufficient power from the power supply if it is not well built for this particular system.

I suggest DO NOT game on the system for now until you have installed the latest driver from AMD. After installing that driver, you need to select compatibility mode for the card. If the sitution happens again, upgrade the power supply.
