My Basic specs are:
AMD FX 8350 4.0 Ghz
Asus Geforce GTX 760 2GB
8 GB 1600Mhz ram
500 GB HDD

I recently brought the graphics card.its awesome.it works perfectly.i am a person who likes to play games in ultra(maximum possible settings)/NVIDIA GEOFRCE EXPERIENCE settings.but as i touch the side panel of my case to feel the temps,it gets hot(average temps of 60-70 degrees).

ALL MY COMPONENTS ARE NON-OVERCLOCKED.

i have just one 120mm case fan installed on the front of my case.unfortunately i cant feel any air flow.so i am deciding to buy an exhaust fan.please teach me on what all factors should i look before buying and what are their recommended specs.

What case do you have ? I suggest adding another 120mm fan in front and a exhaust fan (either 120mm or 140mm). This way, by having two intakes and one exhaust, you will have positive pressure inside the case.

As for specs, look at the type of bearing it uses, the CFM and if you care, the noise production (dBL)

I recommend Corsair fans. They are pretty good in my opinion. Buy a pair of SP120 for your intakes and a AF120 (or AF140 if you can) for the exhaust.
