Those parts are pretty ancient, and a bit crappy besides. I hope that wasn't a new build.

Pretty much a standard symptom of an underpowered power supply. It's not that your computer needs more than 700W, it means your current power supply cannot deliver 300W in real use. In other words, your power supply is a POS. Over-rated and under-built using a decade old design.

That's why the computer shuts down when stressed. Not enough juice.
