Before describing the issue and occurence, I will state that all these parts are new, aside from the GTX 1080. My specs are below.
Specs:
SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 2280 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX  Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 220-G2-0850-XR 80+ GOLD 850W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode
GeIL EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000)
EVGA GTX 1080 SC Edition
Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing RGB 240 Edition PWM AIO Tt LCS Certified Liquid Cooling System
A WD HDD + OCZ Vertex Sata SSD.
There are also several case fans plugged into the power supply (These are the only things running when the pc is turned on)

I will update this as I further inspect the issue.

I built this several days ago, and everything has been a-OK. Temperatures on the CPU have been between 17-22C idle and under load I was under 40c. GPU temps are usually around 58-65c. I was not having any issues what-so-ever, other than trying to enable my bios to boot directly from the M2 Samsung drive. I have been working around that by using F12 in bios and choosing the M2 drive, that was my plan to do tonight after work.

Today, a good friend (Trusted/long time) was playing overwatch(Running in the high 160-180 FPS range on epic 1440p) for a bit while I was at work, he says the computer randomly crashed. (Only the computer, nothing else plugged into the power supply.) After which, he went to reboot, and nothing is powering on within the system aside from the case fans which are plugged directly into the power supply and not routed through the motherboard. The LED on the mobo is not displaying anything (Numbers.) GPU not powering ETC. He says he has checked all the connectors..

I am preemptively posting this as I am on a break at work and have yet to actually see the machine or try any actual trouble shooting. What I am concerned about is a power surge or something that may have fried something?? Or am I under powered?

Thank you in advance for any guidance that can be provided. Feel free to e-mail me directly.
