Though some here might like to know what the fix was for my ASUS GTX 970 that kept tripping the power supply. I got a hold of a Seasonic 750W Focus and things improved a bit but decided to re-paste the GPU and so I removed the fan assembly and thought "what the heck, I'll remove the backplate too and check things under the plate". To do that I had to remove 2 screws on the VRM finned heatsink and that's when I discovered that one of the heatsink screws somehow came loose. Tightened the screws, re-pasted the GPU with PK-2 and wha la, can run Metro Exodus no problem, GPU temps dropped too. Seems a few of the VRM were heating up and causing a current spike and that shut off the PS.
