Is there any way you can put fans on your case? You don't need to be an engineer to understand that the heat emitted by the CPU and graphics card fans can't just stay inside the case and must be vented out. On my case when putting my fingers near the fans, if I'm reading and posting messages on Maher's forum all you feel is a slight breeze, but when playing a game it's a blast of hot air.

Well, Humbert I'm a engineer and if I add a case fan you'll see a computer with lot of cables instead of components. My case is smaller than ur case probably half your size. Even the side panels is  opened to increase airflow and there's no progress.

All components are 6 years old. Another fact is that, its too expensive for PC components here; often I've to pay twice the amount even for mid-range components.

The prices are similar in Pakistan too. For example : amd fx 8350 costs 14k(intel devil canyon i5 4690k cots 19k), amd radeon r9 285 costs 23k, seasonic 750w modular costs 7.5k etc.

[Vasudev]

1k=1000 so 14k=14000.

1k=1000 so 14k=14000.

What currency is this?

@Vasudev - I just checked the conversion app on my phone and, assuming you mean Indian Rupees, the prices you mentioned are roughly 25% higher than what you find on Amazon here in the USA. They're more expensive but still buyable. Are you working as an engineer? If so, then is it they don't pay you enough to reasonably upgrade your system?

Humbert I'm a student. Still 2 months to complete my course and exams.

Do you graduate as an engineer after that, or are there further courses waiting?

What is your specialty, e.g., civil, electrical, biomedical etc. ?

How hard is it to find a job in your field in India? Do they pay you enough to be able to upgrade your system? When you do upgrade, get a huge case with plenty of space and at least 2 120mm fans with fancy lights.

Yes I'm hoping to graduate as an "engineer".  Specialty is computer science. But here, computer science only teaches(confined to) only software and not hardware. I'm interested in h/w not in s/w. For the same reason, I started opening my lappies and desktop to get knowledge about building a pc and diagnose for faults etc.
Yes it is hard to find a job in India. If I use quality components to build a pc it would take 5-6 month's salary. Toughest part in getting a job here, is to clear the aptitude round  which is my weak spot.
