Solution
Blow the dust out of rthe CPU cooler.

Get rid of any overclcok.

Increase the fan speed.

Re-seat the CPU cooler - new thermal paste.

Get a better cpu cooler.

Do the above till idle is at 40C max and gaming is at 60C max.
What CPU are you using? It might be that the GPU is increases case temps, but I don't think it would make your CPU heat up that much. But do as i7 Baby says, it's your best bet.
