When under load, I've noticed my PC tends to overheat quite a bit. The CPU usually hangs around 65 degrees, and peaks up to around 80 at times. How should I proceed in upgrading my computer, so I no longer have this problem? Except for my video card, everything in my PC is stock. I would imagine that I'd have to purchase a new case (the stock case had poor ventilation), a heat sink, and a new power supply. I put in a GeForce GTX 660 Ti and my power supply is only capable of 240V (I think). Any help is greatly appreciated.

As said before me, you can remove dust. If you have enough money i would invest in a new case that has a power supply on the bottom, as heat rises and goes through you PSU which heats it up.

I has a very similar case, and i know how bad the airflow is with one intake/outake fan and air going thorugh the top-mounted PSU. New case is alot better. It will reduce overall temp, and you could get a new, better quality powersupply from good brands if yours isn't enough and is indeed a stock one.

As for the CPU, you can scrape off the termal paste and apply new, but if it really overheats alot then i would invest in a CPU cooler. This one is a really good one...

It supports AMD and Intel sockets and comes with thermal paste.

What ever you decide to do, i recommend getting a new case. The one you have now is not an ideal case for any situation, espesially not for you.

Sorry for all the text. If you have further questions about anything i can look into it, as i know quite a bit about cooling.
