I'm planning to move my old PC to a new room.

The room in question can reach a blistering 35+ Celcius(95+ Fahrenheit) in the summer. It even nears 45 C or 113 F occasionally. (No air conditioning)
The PC I intend to use is pretty old. i5-3450(Stock cooler) and a gtx 750ti. Not using it for gaming or anything too intensive but the room temperature is bothering me. Should I not use the PC in the room due to the thermals? Is there any way around it? Should I opt for better cooling? Any kind of guidance would be very helpful

Yeah, don't use it there, since the ambient air you're going to feed the system is going to be 35 Deg C or worse...meaning that the components inside would start from a higher temp, then you add the heat that each component will be dumping into the case and the room.

Install an Air Conditioner, that's the only way. Watercooling won't help at all. Beefy air coolers won't do either since they all work on the principle of being fed ambient air, which by default in summer will be like a BBQ.
