ok, so i built my first pc, and everything seemed great. except now that i am playing some intense games, my pc seems to overheat. when i close a game the temp is usually around 60c. but when i was playing gta4, my pc actually shut down insantly. Do you think that coolermaster v8 would be enough? because right now i just have the stock heatsink on it.
 
of course it'd be enough, it's one of the best heatsinks out there :). Make sure that i'll fit your case first.
 
i just got some cheap case i had laying around. its not the airflow, cause my old pc was in there and it was fine.
 
What power supply do you have? Because random shut down during games sounds more like a power issue to me than anything. 60c is high, but it isn't going to cause your computer to shut off.
