I bought the HP Pavilion, and upgraded the power supply and graphics card, the graphics card can run almost everything very smoothly, but quickly overheats. Do I need a new chassis?

The fractal design define r4 is a great case. It is very quiet, comes with two fans with the ability to add up to 6, and is clean looking, much like the stock case. There is a windowed version of the case but because of the motherboard in your current computer, I wouldn't recommend that. Another option which is cheaper is something like corsair 200r. Once again a clean case.

The problem seems to be that the case doesn't provide enough airflow to the gpu to allow it to stay cool. Im not exactly sure how to combat this problem due to the fact that your purchased an OEM pc and did not custom build. It doesn't appear that there are any fan mounts on the case that you could add fans to. Purchasing a slightly better gpu with better cooling may fix the problem but Im not 100% on that. If you do decide to buy another GPU, get a blower designed fan that way it exhausts heat out the rear of the case instead of into the case.

Could I buy a new case with better airflow and move everything into it?
