Hi guys, long time lurker and first time poster here. I've been having a problem recently with my computer rebooting randomly when I'm gaming which I immediately knew was going to be an overheating problem. I've spent the last several hours looking at various forums for similar issues and googling tools to help me diagnose the issue but I'm only going to be confident shelling out money to replace a part if I know for sure that'll fix the problem.
In a nutshell, I've used both Speedfan and Open Hardware Monitor to get the following stats...
First, here is what I've got:
-AMD FX6300 CPU
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 GPU
-MSI 970A-G43 motherboard
Using Speedfan I can see the following stats:

And I get a lot more granular information from OHM:

I made sure to give the computer some amount of stress by playing a couple rounds of Rocket League. It looks to me like the issue is easily that my GPU is running way too hot. There really shouldn't be any problems with airflow in the case as it's pretty open, so this tells me the GPU is likely just getting old (also given the fact that it's a 570). This I have no problem replacing. However I can also see on OHM that:
-My motherboard is showing max temperatures of 67 and 73 Celsius, and
-My CPU is also showing a max temp of 66.8 Celsius reached.
To keep it simple, my questions are: #1, is it as simple as replacing the GPU for my GPU overheating problem, or might this be caused by another part? And #2, are the readings on the mobo and CPU anything to worry about?
If there's any other information I need to post, please let me know.
