Well guys, i've got my new rig up and running and it's great. thanks again for the help you guys gave me, now on to the next problem. When I play taxing games like World of Warcraft, my Video card overheats and then the game crashes. I've tried popping the panels off of the front of my case (Antec lifestyles model) that are used when there are no cd drives and blowing my fan in the hole. I've also tried turning down the requisite temp for my video card fan to turn on and cracking open the side of my case and blowing a fan in. Nothing has helped much, in fact opening my case up actually made it worse. Any suggestions?

We need more info,

Computer Specs, Your Temps when u start having problems.

If you have room to add more fans inside your case then add them. Fans in the front blowing air inside the case and fans in the back blowing air Outside the case and if u can add a fan on the side of the case have it blowing inside either blowing over the video card of Cpu.
