700W is way more than enough for what you're running. It's possible the PSU is faulty but the problem is not that it's not enough power.

It's more likely that the CPU is overheating. Maybe the heatsink was moved slightly as you were installing the new components and is no longer properly cooling the CPU. Get yourself a temp monitor (Everest, coretemp, realtemp) and post your temps, especially note what it is just before it shuts down. Also what model of CPU is it?
