Hi. AS far as i know, WoW is not all that graphics intensive, so shouldn't be taxing the card a whole lot. That load temp is a bit more than I would like to see, but not overly so. You may wish to get some canned air and blow around the heat sink over the GPU, especially if that temp has been lower in the past under load. If this has been on going, you may want to check your airflow in the box.

I have a second monitor i watch streams as i play, does this cause any more heat?

It could as the card is working a bit harder to drive two monitors.
