My apologies if this query isn't in the right section. I recently purchased this desktop:

http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-Ultra-GUA880-Desktop/dp/B0089KDCIU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418930180&sr=8-4&keywords=cyberpower

And proceeded to replace the graphics card and power supply to make it able to play higher-end video games. Since then, my desktop seems to be overheating when playing video games, even ones that aren't high-end. The graphics card can handle high-end graphics just fine, but out of nowhere the desktop will freeze in what I think is an overheat. The issue seems to be my fans, one of which is making a very off sound when running. I took some screenshots of some system info:

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Thinking I might need to replace a fan, but I'm not sure.

If its a heat issue then new fans are your only real option. Make sure its actually the heat by stressing the GPU and checking its temps before spending your money tho.

I took some screenshots of my desktop at different times.

On startup:

When playing Monaco, a low-intensive game:

When playing League of Legends on highest settings, a somewhat more intensive game:

Based on these, do you think that overheating is the problem? If so, what fan or fans should I replace? The heatsink one? Sorry, I'm a bit new to hardware terms.

51 degrees for a GPU isn't at all too hot for a 200 series card so I don't think it is. What amd card do you have anyways? Also, what power supply do you have?

I'd try updating the drivers/making sure everything is connected properly. The psu should be fine, and your temps are also fine. If this doesn't fix anything then a clean install of windows is another option. It could be a defective PSU or GPU but I'm not sure how you'd figure out which if thats the case. You can test them both, but you need another system to do that properly. Maybe someone else has an idea of how to test them both and will chime in with a suggestion, but its definitely not a heat issue from the temps you posted.

Edit: Oh you have another GPU. If the new drivers don't work try putting that in and running a GPU stress test for a while (an actual stress test, not a game) and let it go for a bit. If it happens during that then you can blame the PSU and return it for a new one
