CPU Overheating because of GPU , what to do?

[rafovafo]

I recently got a GTX 1060 6GB. I've done some research and determined that an FX 6300 is enough for it , and so it was , but it started overheating , probably because of the GPU. I have a stock cooler , so I am guessing thats the problem but I will need help from anyone to find a solution , should I get a new cooler or wait a year so I can afford a new cpu?

I am pretty sure my AMD has the same cooling process. Also has 2 fans and a heat sink.

Also the case is pretty big and has decent airflow , well I think. Ill try to find the case online for you.

The AMD exhausts more hot air through the back.

Does the CPU still overheat if you remove the side panel?
