Unexpected PSU shutdowns

Recently swapped my pc from the reference blower coolers and an Kraken AIO to a full custom loop.

Boots fine and can complete a TimeSpy stress test no problem.

 

However, when I go to play Bioware's latest fiasco, I get unexpected shutdowns.

At first I attributed it to an over-sensitive Asus Anti-surge; upon POST, the warning came up. But with AAS switched off, the PC continues to shut off when exiting menus back into the game, or in the middle of combat.

I have the SeaSonic 1050 SnowSilent, is 1050W truly not enough to maintain stable voltage and avoid surging?

If so, would a 1200W unit be enough to solve my probem?

 

System specs:

 

Windows 10 64-bit

SnowSilent 1050W

i7-6700K, OC 4.5 GHz

Maximus VIII Formula, UEFI BIOS rev. 3401 - 2017/3/31

2 x Titan X Pascal, OC 2.05 GHz

32 GB Dominator Platinum

950 Pro M.2

850 Pro 2.5"

2x WD Black 3.5"

2 x Laing D5

3 x 120 Corsair ML

2 x 140 Corsair ML

4 x 140 NZXT FZ

3 x 200 NZXT FZ

What does Furmark  & Prime95 do to it?

Does it shut down then?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

I haven't tried Furmark, but ran Prime95 for 3 hours yesterday. Package temp maxed out at 63C.

TimeSpy had both cards at 95-100% load and power usage, but no shutdown occurred.
