desktop keeps shutting itself off

mainly while playing games. I have a temp sensor on the graphics card, and while it does tend to run hot, the computer will still shut off seemingly randomly while playing games. Could this be a power supply issue? Or is it indicative of something else?
 
I'm running an Antec 850W power supply, nvidia 8800GTS, Intel 6600 2.4GHz, with 4 gigs of ram.

Is the PSU fucked up, or am I just drawing too much power?
 
I highly doubt you're drawing too much power from an 850w PSU with your setup, probably just faulty. I have had bad experiences with Antec PSU's, try another brand. I recommend Coolermaster, although read some reviews because their quality varies greatly from the lower to higher end models.
