My first newly built PC:

All fans are stock.
CPU is not overclocked.
Graphic card is a 7870 XT overclocked to 1200Mhz.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M LX PLUS Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT 2GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master K380 http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/mid-tower/k380.html
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W ATX12V Power Supply
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer


While gaming, my graphic card reaches temperatures of 90 degrees and I only played for an hour. I wonder if it'd go higher if I played longer.

What sort of 'cheap' cooling should I employ to keep the card and case cooler?

Your GPU temps are definitely somewhat (it not entirely) from your cable management . It also looks like you only have 1 case fan (unless there is a top fan which I doubt). I would first re route that crows-nest, then add a rear exhaust fan.

Alright, I'll try that and let you know! Thanks.

The cable 'management' was done by the store from whom I bought the components from. The cables are tied up atm and I fear getting it all loose and 'flowing' if I cut it open right now. So the next best option is to get a good exhaust fan, right? Should I add one at the back and one at the top? I have a provision for a fan at the side, too.

I'll go to the store in a couple of days and purchase the fan(s).

Anything else?
