So my pc has been loud recently more than usuall and it's kinda getting to be anooying as hell, for a few minutes ago i quit a game becouse my pc suddenly begin to be louder and louder then i checked my spec temp with speecy and i see my GPU is at 80+ (stayed on it) and then i just wanted to see how hot it was then i almost burned my finger?! is that normal that you can cook food with your GPU?

(Feel that hot)..

I have a full AMD system.

Max price of new GPU: 300-350$

Powersupply: CX 750 Watt
Motherboard: M5 A97 R2.0
Currently GPU: XFX Radeon R9 270X
CPU / Cooler: AMD 8350 (standart cooler)

It depends on the brand, 80C is normal. check out the reviews:

For $300-$350, recommend to buy the gtx970, if you want AMD GPU, then get the r9 390. But gtx970 runs cooler than the r9 390.

I would recommend waiting for the 1070 and AMD latests GPUs to come out. They will fall pretty close to your price range, and if anything else may drive the price of the R9 390 and 970 down some more.

It's a xfx radeon r9 270x that i currently have

cin19 · May 24, 2016

According to the review, it should be around 70C. http://us.hardware.info/reviews/5003/8/five-amd-radeon-r9-270x-tested-asus-msi-sapphire-and-xfx-cooling-noise-levels-and-energy-consumption

What case do you have? maybe the airflow is not that good. Do you try use the MSI afterburner to control the GPU fan speed too?

I got a stormtrooper case white with 4 fans (1 back. 1 Top (big) 2 in front.)
I don't use that, never heard of it i most say

cin19 · May 24, 2016

That you should try use it to control the fan speed. it works very well. And your case cooling is good enough.

Is this safe to do edit?

cin19 · May 24, 2016

Yes, it is safe to change the speed, may scroll down to the "Fan speed " section in the MSI afterburner site. https://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner
