Hello (Sorry bout the wall of text, I tried to include everything I thought was important to start with)
First I would like to express that I did actually google my way around before posting here to see if I could figure out why my pc behaves the way it does but I wasn't able to find anyone in the exact situation as me with a decent solution to the problem.
I realise now that I'll probaly have to send the newly purchased part in to be examined by techs at the producer but whatever, I'll give it a go here and see if some clever person can help me out
Okay se here's the deal:
I first bought a new Gigabyte GTX 680 OC and installed it. It ran fine with the rest of my components for a few weeks, no issues what so ever.
Then I bought a new CPU, i7 2700k and a new motherboard, Asus P8 277-M Pro.
I installed everything and it all seemed to run just fine.
Sadly, when I entered Arma 2, or any other "intensive" game, the pc just started rebooting all over sudden, and still does. At first I wasn't able to play more than a few minutes before it just rebooted, but now it's gotten sort of "better" and I can sometimes get a full 30 minutes before it reboots perhaps even a bit more. But it still sucks lol as you probaly can immagine.
My current components actually use LESS power than the ones I had before (ATI 5870, EX-58 UDR3 motherboard and i7 920) so I doubt it could be an issue with my PSU.
I also checked temps, and they all look "fine" to me.
I don't really know what to make of the PSU stats but they seem ok (following different guides)
My PSU 750W Energon, bout 1½ / 2 years old.
I've also ran the IntelBurnTest v2.3 on the normal settings which my pc actually passed without rebooting. Though if I remember correctly it rebooted the first time I tried it, but I am not sure.
Please note: I can run Minecraft fine NOW, but when I had first installed the components I couldn't even run this. It gradually got better though. From being able to play a few minutes, to 15, then 30 and so forth. As of now I haven't experienced it shut down when playing Minecraft for about 2 weeks. I can also use the PC for surfing, office or whatever.
I don't know what to make of this. I guess it's some sort of hardware failure, but I don't want to send in both my motherboard and cpu if you can tell me what's wrong.
Next week I might be able to borrow a mates i7 2600k to see if that runes stable.
Any input is much appreciated and I'll gladly provide more info!

Another picture providing temps just to show you that I did check in several programs:
