Overheating 80c+ !!!!

A case w/o airflow is a bad thing, the air inside pc will warm up till its far too hot to cool at all, get an akasa amber 80 mm fan and place it on the front intake fan spot (most cases, even old and small ones have at least space for one additional fan), together with your psu fan it'll draw air from front and blow it out from psu fan @ back...
Or you could check some pc fair for a cheap 1 euro ( dutch site you linked to so assuming you're dutch) fan theyre usually not very good performers but better than nothing if you dont want to spend a lot of money.
 
those old xps would run around 60 degrees and when above 80 it was a problem, but should be ok for now, get some case fans if u dont have any as its stupid not having them.
 
As for a new cooler you could try something like Artic Cooling Silent TC but I dont think OCuK stock these any more. Cost about £11 and kept my XP3200 at 57c ish full load which was acceptable.
 
1. Im from England (The site I linked to was the only one I could find with the heatsink)

2. In the case that I have already there is no room for any case fans, that is why I have said that I need to upgrade to a midi case so that it can be improved.

3. I am willing to spend about £40 ish on the new case and HSF and I have a couple of cheapo case fans lying around
