Is my CPU the one making all the noise?

I've been noticing that my PC is incredibly loud when playing a game or doing anything else rather intensive.

I've finally got around to trying to fix it, and I see SpeedFan is apparently a good utility. I started up an intensive application and here are the results:

I can't interpret the results very well, but my CPU is the loudest of the two fans, right? Would fan 2 be my gpu or psu?

Also, I only have the stock cooler.. could you suggest the best cheap-ish cooler for an FX-6300?

A good cheapish cooler is the Cooler Master 212. In terms of fan speed neither of those are the psu as it does not connect to the mobo in any way other than to give it power. These are likely either both case intake fans or and intake and exhaust fan.
