PC shutting down due to heat. I've checked temperatures and the CPU is low for sure. The gpu goes up to 75-80. I don't know what the problem is, but maybe my case is really bad?
I have a Coolermaster RC-333 midi and everything is just so tight inside there. Only 1 front fan and 1 rear bad fan. So little space and the room temperature is very high as well since i am in greece.

Can you confirm that by getting a new Full tower, my PC wont overheat? :D

If your rear exhaust fan is bad and not preforming like it should I would suggest maybe replacing it first and giving it a try. As was stated above depending on your video card really it should be fine at 80 not ideal of course. I had an old ATI 1900 series card that would hit 70 to 75 under heavy load and was fine for 3 years while I had it and ran another 5 after that. You may also want to check and make sure the fins on your gpu heat sink are plugged with dust etc. and blow them out and see if that helps.

Which graphics card do you have? I live in Alabama where it is hot and humid and my current graphics card (r7 260x) max out at 65º C but my GT 240 was hitting 80ºC or higher.

I use a mid tower with only a rear exhaust fan.

75-80 isn't completely terrible. It's not ideal, but acceptable. I use a Mid Tower (Corsair 600T) and run SLI 780s with temps around 60-70 under load. Have a look at that tower instead of a gigantic one (jokes on me, 600T is still large).
