Lets put a theoretical question up.
Say the room my computer is operating in is 76*F and my graphics card( r9 290) gigabyte edition is pumping out a maximum of 81*C (177.8*F) inside of its case. What would the temperature be in the outside environment? What formula do you use to even find this? I'm thinking calculus temperature change but i haven't taken calculus yet so I'm stumped. I thought about using the Delta T but i don't think its that simple. Would how much air being pushed out case also factor into the equation? Heat dissipation too, now that I start to think about it... I need guidance.

A thermometer for room temp works. You can also buy a meter for temps close to the case. Is the 81degrees Celsius with your fans on your gpu ramped up. Or is your fan speed on auto? yes airflow has a lot to do with it.

Your room temperature would not increase that much (85F at most after 4 hours with closed windows)
However, if your room temperature was like 45F, it would increase to like 70F quite rapidly.

why is that akbar? Because heat transference with lower temps is a much faster process?

It's theoretical Jaime, I'm just hypothesizing how much hotter would the room get if I were to have a gpu at 81*C in a room with 76*F. that is a much better option though. having a thermometer next to the pc area would give me a rough idea of how much heat the case is exerting.

Yes, so you can use your pc like a free heater in the winter :)  but not worry about a hot room in the summer.
