Personal opinion based on the info:
Either it could be dirty gpu - but it is new, so I doubt it.
Bad GPU - possible
Not sufficient airflow in the case. How many case fans do you have? Are they all working?
The GPU fan isn't working - can you check on this?
The R7 250 is safe up to 90c, however reaching that isn't good. Most reviews I looked at show a load temp of 65c.
Bad power supply- your PSU could be supplying a bad load causing too much power on the connector, which would cause more heat.
Try swapping the GPU power cord with another one.

what is the rpm's your gpu fans are running at? On my gtx560ti classified without precisionX up the damn thing runs hot as hell but once i open precisionX it ramps the fan speed up and cools the card back down. I would never run a gpu without some sort of software like afterburner, precisionX or the asus version of those two........You can set custom fan profiles and it also controls fan speed to make sure the card runs optimal.

I personally wouldn't go for something at 430w. This means you could end up upgrading the PSU again if you plan to make any other upgrades later on.
Go for something around the 600w range.

VS and CX are basically builder grade psus. They are just enough to pass the basic tests, the very basic tests at that, and thats about it. They'll work, just not very long, and not very well and they know that, which is why they have such short warrantys. They are the quality of psu that starts to die the day before you buy it and kicks the bucket the day after the warranty expires
