I have SpeedFan installed to monitor my temperatures of my GPU and others and lately whenever I play Far Cry 4 my GPU goes from 50C to 80C and I can feel the heat on the top of my PC! I don't know if it's supposed to heat this much or anything but could it be because my PSU's wires are all bunched up in my PC case? I was being lazy and didn't do cable managing so can it be because of that? When not playing a game it's just normal temperatures. I don't play Far Cry 4 on ultra or anything, Medium Settings (1920x1080).

Here are my specs if it helps and please let me know if I need to include anything else.

CPU: AMD FX - 6300 Six Core ~ 3.5Ghz
RAM: 8GB (One stick Corsair Vengence DDR3)
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7770
Power Supply: Corsair CX750
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P

P.S My heatsink gets in the way so I can't add another 8GB card but I have a 2GB ram card that fits, should I put that in?

Okay thanks but should I input the 2GB extra RAM card? I feel having all power being used on one card can be harmful or bad?

No. You should have started off with two sticks of 4 but since you didn't I would recommend getting another stick of 8 since most mobos only handle either 1, 2, and 4 sticks at a time.

I used to have 2 8GB cards but the new motherboard I got, the Heatsink gets in the way of inserting the second one, and the ram sticks are pretty big. So I gave the second one to a friend.
