my problem:

While gaming, my room seems to get hot very quickly. weather is 55 F outside, and i keep the window open with fan and i get hot. Feels like 80F inside the room. The computer has efficient cooling fans, but i don't know why it seem to spit out that much heat. All core temp are normal. Someone told me, that i need to upgrade my processor, but i don't think it does that much of difference. he said it can lower overall room temp by 20F. Is this true?

My Ring:
i7-2600K @4.3
16Gb ram
Gtx 1070 Gigabyte
2k monitor w/144hz
250GB SSD
2 TB HD

I'd tend to agree that it's unlikely the pc is making the room hot. If the pc is placed under a desk where all the heat is allowed to build up in a small area and is making someone's legs warm that's possible but not making an entire room hot.

An improved cpu cooler won't do anything for room temps, it still has to dispel x amount of heat. If anything a 'better' cooler (one which cools the cpu more efficiently) is going to transfer the same heat created by the cpu into the room faster. I'm running a similar setup, an i5 4690k oc'd to 4.6ghz and an hd 7850 which reaches just 10c less than the 1070. My 7850 is also slightly overclocked and it definitely doesn't heat my room (this room roughly 8x10ft) even with the windows closed.

The only reason upgrading a CPU would help room temp is if the cpu upgrade also improves the cpu cooler.
And never would it make a 20 degree F temp different to ambient.

Either your CPU/GPU temps are way hotter then you think they are, or there is something else heating up your room.

I don't know who told you that upgrading the cpu would lower your room temps by 20F but I'd be curious to see the mad science behind that claim. If the room is uncomfortably warm for you then standard cooling measures apply. There's not much that will bring pc temps down in terms of component choices. Opening a window, running a fan as you say you're doing will help. If the door to the room is closed and not permitting air circulation through the rest of the house it might help to open it. If a fan and open window aren't helping then something like an air conditioner with active cooling would be another idea.
