The PC will dissipate almost the same # of watts in heat energy no matter what the cooling solution is on the components. The temperature of the components only has a minor impact on how much they heat the room - the wattage they consume is a better indicator of how much the room will heat up.
Ventilate it separately from the room, or improve the cooling to your room in some way to offset the increased heat output of the PC. Most likely your rooms original design was not intended to dissipate so much heat comfortably.

agreed. i7's comment on a cpu cooler will not affect your room temperature. however, if you do notice excessive temps (i would say 65c or higher) then you definitely do need a better cooler.
a running computer will definitely heat up the air in a room. if i leave my system idling in a closed room for awhile it will be at least 5 degrees warmer in the room if not more. with my television on (which i use as a monitor) it can be 10 degrees warmer or more.
you need ventillation. air must enter your room and then go out. ideally you would leave your door open and have air either come in the window and go out the door or come in the door and go out the window. you can help this by using a fan at the window. this will circulate the air so it is not kept confined in the room to build and build.
at a bare minimum you need a fan blowing in fresh air from outside if you have your door closed or an overhead fan circulating the air.
you might want to put the computer in a different spot where it has better ventillation as well. having it on top of the desk could mean better airflow better dissipation of the heat with any kind of amibient air currents. having it under the desk next to your legs is going to be hotter.

Best solution
there is only one window in my pc room as well and we do not have air conditioning.
the best you can do is to put a fan in the window blowing air in and to put the computer up on the desk or in a place where both you and the case can benefit from the airflow.
at least the heat doesnt seem to be a problem for the pc.. you just need to circulate the air around so that it doesnt build up the heat as much.

I agree, however a note on this. Really hot days outside you may want to consider having the fan suck the air out instead of blowing it in. Sometimes this will work better if inside is cooler than outside.
