ok..so im not sure if i posted this on the right category, basically my problem is cooling..

I built my first good for gaming pc but im worried because for some reason whenever i play games my PC(the case itself) is quite hot, not hot - "i cant touch it anymore" but hot enough. I used HW monitor and GPU-Z to check the temp, on idle CPU temp is 20c while GPU is 38c then when i go play(COD ghost/bioshock inf) GPU goes up to 74c and goes down quickly when i turn off the game. i think this GPU temp is just right but the case getting this hot is that right? im Just worried that not enough air is going in or out of my pc.

Here are some pics of my rig:
1 intake fan in front and 1 exhaust rear.
AMD FX6300
MSI 760GM-P34
MSI r9 270x gaming 2gb
4gm ram
500 hdd
corsair VS650w

Depends on what is your RT, from the review the GPU should be at mid 20C in idle, about 60C in full load ( the RT is 22C or 72F when they did the test). Or maybe your case, because the rear fan size is small and the GPU does block the air flow, it does divide the space into two parts.
