Apologies in advance for the long post! 
My PC is like an oven!
Seriously. I built a system for my bro a week or two back and it was blowing out cold air from all orifaces (so to speak) PSU, GPU, fans.
Now my PC is the oposite, it blows out mega hot from the PSU and really hot from the GPU? Even the rear and top fan blow out pretty warm?
Now this wouldn't be a problem in a large room, but my 'office' is 2meters by 1.5meters i.e. tiny, the PC can raise the room temp by nearly 10degC and in this heat I've had to turn down the clock o my CPU to stop it crashing.
Now I'm looking to upgrade soon anyway, but I think I'll do it gradually. I was wondering if I could do something about the heat first off?
I was thinking a new PSU (not sure which are coolest, literally
) and a GPU cooler? But I'm planning to get a 4890 in a month or so, so is there one that fits both the 8800 and the 4890? Or maybe a water solution that would fit both as well as a 775 CPU and AM3 one (what I'm planning to get)?
