Posted this in the main forum, thought I'd post it here. My psu is CONSTANTLY running at 79 degrees C. Any ideas?

the power supply is fine, read what stranglehold put.
for your others, clean out your case, that means full disasembly and clean all of your heatsinks and fans. Reaply decent thermal paste and put it all back together and see the temps then. If they are still a bit on the warm side (your video card and hard drive for example), you will need better case ventilation, which will mean more fans, maybe new heatsink+fan or hard drive enclosure with fan, and maybe even a modded case (So much fun )
I cleaned out the heatsink in the card and it dropped about 10 degrees. I went to buy a new card today, a GTS 250, and the damn thing is so thick it doesn't fit on my mobo due to other parts being connected lol.
Should I upgrade the mobo or downgrade the card?
clean your cooling system.change your cooling system.
That first one is big enough?
You'll pay at least a 15% if not 20-25% premium buying from microcenter for motherboards, unless they are on sale.
