I lowered settings and my cpu was not super hot but still froze and restarted, ram and MB heat sinks were burning, wondering if that has something to do with it. I know I have a cpu bottle neck.

The PC is shutting down in the middle of a game? That's usually a hardware stability issue.
Try these steps one at a time so you know which one fixes the hardware crashes.
1. Update the motherboard BIOS firmware to the latest version.
2. Disable XMP/EXPO memory overclocking in motherboard BIOS.
3. Downclock GPU core and VRAM frequency by 200MHz.
4. Disable both PBO & CPB in motherboard BIOS if you have an AMD CPU. Disable Turbo Boost for Intel CPU.
If PC is still shutting down and crashing I'd check for memory errors with HCI MemTest.
