You could always upgrade your cooling system.

but how? just have 2 80mm cool master in the front as intake 1 at the side and at the back... im planning to buy a arctic silver5 for my cpu... but for now can my pc handle the said temp in my last post? and how can i see the videocard's temp also? thanks! :)

A case temp of 43C is pretty hot. If you can get that down it's going to help your CPU temp out a good bit. Try removing the side panel and blowing a table fan at the inside. If that helps, you might look into adding a fan to the side panel. I have a 120mm fan plowing right on the CPU & Video Card area of my MB. My case temp at the moment is 21C.

The CPU temp will always be higher than the case temp. If you turn the computer off, the case temp will drop to the temperature of the room. It's the components inside which heat it up.

The CPU generates it's own heat, due to the electricity going through it. It heats the case, not the other way around. What a good cooling system does is to move the heat of the CPU (and other components, like your RAM & Video Card) from the components to the inside of the case, then out of the case to the room. If your case isn't moving heat efficiently from the inside of the case to the outside, the parts inside have a hard time shedding their heat, meaning everything gets hotter.
