Lately my pc is getting Loud and hot when gaming. I built my pc aout 8-10 months ago and it ran all the games i played on Ultra with ease. I mainly play MMOs like wildstar and WoWand it ran them no problem but recently it started using almost all of my memory 60-85% and up to 75% of my CPU and the temp`s rech up to 83 degrees celsius and its really worrying me i tried solving the broblem by cleaning out dudst and setting the graphics to high/medium but it doesnt work i really have no idea what to do since this is my first PC im thinking of just buying a new processor like the i5-4690k but im not sure.
I would really love some good advice


ps: these are my components
Processor :intel core i5-4590
Graphic: GEFORCE GTX 750 ti

Don't buy a new processor, your current one is fine for gaming.
However, 83°C is far too hot for your CPU at 75% load. Even with a standard cooler it should be well below 70°C
Possibly your CPU cooler is not properly attached to your CPU. Possibly you didn't apply thermal paste to your CPU cooler properly when you built your PC. Suggest you check, and maybe apply new thermal paste to it. There are some how to guides on youtube.

Affdan,

Lodders gave you good advice. Also check the processes in task manager and see what uses your cpu and memory. Such level of cpu and memory utilisation is not normal for idle state and lite computing, while ingame you can expect it, depends of cpu, how much ram you have and what you play.

Best luck!

I checked the task manager while i was running wildstar on ultra high it uses between 43-65% of my CPU and 63% of memory the Pc is still loud. So should i just put some new Thermal paste on the processor and/or buy a new fan ?

Well, seems as a normal utilisation in gaming, so first you should try to reaply thermal paste, and if nothing changes go with new cooler. I had a long and bad experience with stock coolers especially on more powerful cpus so now when I'm buying new cpu I'm always buying an aftermarket cooler for it.

Best luck and notify is there any progress!

For an i7 4790, on even worse an i7 4770, an upgraded cooler is good advice.
However, in my experience the stock cooler is more than enough for my i5 4690k, and so Afdan's slightly slower i5 4590 should also be fine on a stock cooler.
