I was just playing some heros and generals on max settings, realised my GPU is becoming really hot, is this the norm?

Graphics cards are usually the hottest component, whereas cpu's are second hottest. Unfortunately, you dont have any side fan intakes, which would've really dropped your gpu temps by several degrees (i have a 400r case).

By the way, if something overheats, the pc will shut down. A lot of enthusiast gamers are aware of the heat vs power requirements with high game settings, so they invest in extensive cooling to keep their components' longevity. Just consider that for now. In the mean time, you can game at max settings if you want or you can dial some features down to keep lower temps. All up to u, bro
