Hi there forum. My Pc seems to randomly shut down but only when I play games. If not I can surf the internet/watch a movie/ listen to music for hours and nothing goes wrong but as soon as I play a game 20 min in it shuts down my pc. It doesn't restart instantly. I have to wait a while to switch back on, before when I try it is unresponsive. Specs are windows 10 , as rock z97 anniversary, pny gtx970, i7 4790, 16gb hyper x ram, transcend ssd.

I had a problem like this for months, turned out my mobo power cable wasn't inserted properly. Maybe you should double check?

Definitely sounds like a PSU issue. Make sure as suggested by leelaa that everything connected correctly.

Wich is a decent PSU. still it seems that your system gets unreliable during load. Try running something to put your PC underload and make sure your check your eventlogs afterwards.
