It doesn't make sense to heat up because of a PSU. If the CPU is using a stock cooler than it is normal to reach high temps. The GPU also can gen pretty hot especially in a PC case with a bad airflow. Do have enough case fans?

No low end PSU doesn't heat up the PC the PC heats up because of lack of proper air flow inside the case the cpu heats up if you oc it on the stock cooler (amd cooler are crappy even at stock clocks) and while playing gfx intensive games the card and the cpu both heats up so if your case doesn't have proper ventilation then the system could heat up.

I have 1 case fan and i am not using stock processor fan . the prob started when i changed my gfx although do u recommend that i purchase a new psu?

You did not mention the model of the PSU but it is probably good enough if you do not experience any crashes.

One fan setup for a card like r9 280x its normal to for the card and the case to heat up.

a recommended setup is 1 front intake fan, 1 rear exhaust fan and 1 top exhaust fan minimum for a gaming pc.

Any fan that you can recommend?
