These fans should blow the hot air out. Or in some cases (me) front fan spins inwards and one at the back of the case blows the air out.

The most causes of something over heating that causes the PC to shut off is actually the CPU over heating. You might want to look into that. If you have something like a kitchen thermometer that you like put in chicken and stuff, leave it in the CPU heatsink for about 30 minutes doing what you normally do. Record the temperature. Do the same with the graphics card when the thermometer reaches room tempterature. Tell me the results.

Need more information. Does it only overheat when playing games? When doing other things? When idling? What?
Do you know how to make games? Do you know 3d Modeling? If so then visit
