Considering the already high ambient temp, the computer temps are fine. Around 70 degs C during gaming is not unusual.

However, consistent 76 degs C could indicate that the case needs some more air movement. Direct a small table fan towards the front of the computer.

1. pop the case open and clean it from dust
2. consider adding more fans inside
3 if you cant do neither of above take it to IT shop and they will clean it for low cost

Yes moving the computer to a cooler room will help.

In addition, place a small table fan and direct some air at the computer case. There must be good air movement inside as well as outside the case.

Do not place the computer inside a cabinet. It will add to the heat problem.

Desktop computers will generally run 10 to 15 degrees C hotter than the room temperature when everything else is right (good CPU/heatsink installation). Higher during gaming.
