So after checking the motherboard, cpu seating, cooler seating, RAM, adding a fan to northbridge/VRMs, checking all my cabling to make sure there are no shorts and reseating GPUs & RAM i am still experiencing shut offs.
My only guess now is that it's the PSU, it only seems to do it when i overclock and take the voltage above about 1.4v. Again it's totally random and i have cool n' quiet on so it is throttling under low load. Sadly my PSU is not from OCUK but from the Bolton based retailer, should i RMA it and get a replacement? My only worry is that they won't find it faulty as it technically works, just seems to have issues with higher voltages.

So even with my new CPU and mobo my PC is still deciding to shut off randomly, temps are all fine so i guess it must be a malfunctioning PSU?

So even with a different GPU, CPU and Mobo this is still happening. It actually went away for a few months and has just now popped up again. The PSU has also starting making a weird vibration noise, confirmed this by turning off the fans, HDDs and pump. Guess i'm going to RMA it and get a replacement.
