Hi. I have reached to you for help because I do not know anywhere to ask. Here is my issue: Whenever I play Fortnite or really almost any other game, my PC turns extremely loud. It sounds like a literal lawnmower it my room and it overheats often. But, my PC does that not have that much room to breathe considering it cannot get air from the top or bottom because of the desk I have. The fan and something else is making a really loud noise. I really do not like it and am worried and it makes my game lag. I need a fix. I do not want it to get worse and I need help.

Please help fast,
Ryan.

Chances are you're hearing your CPU/GPU fan's ramping up to max rpm's. You should absolutely move the case where it can get some more air. Also, give it a good clean, especially the CPU heatsing/fan, and the GPU fan intake as well.
