Sorry to start yet another post, but this is quite important.
My PC is running WAY too hot.
Motherboard isn't too bad - about 39C
Processor is a bit high - 45-50C depending on load
Graphics card - nearly 70C!!
My case has 7x 80mm case fans all working at full revs. Any ideas how I can cool the whole thing down? Preferably not too expensive - i.e. not that subzero system thingy!! Lol ;)

Stock heatsinks on graphics cards are notoriously awful, for both heat and noise. Get an arctic cooling vga silencer and switch it for the stock heatsink.
That would be a good idea...
I'm not too worried about the processor really, since that is at full load. But what can I do about the graphics card? All I can think is that there is a card right next to it, not giving the graphics card fan much space - I might move that card along a few slots...
If at full load, your processor isn't that high. However, options include:
Leaving the case off
Water cooling
Buy more powerful fan
use better thermal paste of highter heat conductivity
buy a more effective heatsink
