Do not keep your pc open.
it affects the airflow in your case.
if you think that your pc is overheating then buy a new fan for it.

Do you mean opened as in the chassis is open and it is exposing your parts?
Or open as in on?

If the first, the it should be fine as long as you remember to clean it bi-monthy or more. And make sure that you don't spill a drink in it, or if you have a dog or cat make sure they are far away from it because hair can really fuck up a system.

As for on, I have mine running almost 10hrs a day, and I haven't had a problem. But more than that, PCs run for a long time. Even 24/7 (I dont recommend doing that) and as long as they remain below 80C then you should get no failures.
