The temps are going up to around 80 degrees when playing games or opening multiple things and im not sure why, i just reapplied the paste and got rid of all the dust and it still really high im looking for a cooler and i was thinking about getting another 212 evo as my temps never went past around 60-70 degrees.

well i have 2 intake fans at the front and 2 outtake fans at the back it should be fine you know i just built this pc so idk why it is so high
 
That simple test would reveal if your fan configuration is enough :) there are many factors in optimizing airflow beside the number of fans.
It is a good idea to put aftermarket cooler like 212evo anyway, but in case that you have airflow issues, it would not help much.
What is your ambient temperature?
