Do the temps only get that high when you ate playing games?

What is the WATTs for the Power Supply that is installed in the system?

What are the setting for the games set at?
High or Ultra High

Well... yeah mostly high when im playing games , for example I just turned off WoW 3 min ago after playing it for 4h , and my temps are 71 C GPU 54 GPU , ( while I was playing it was 71 C GPU 60-70 CPU)

uhh... it says MAX DC Output 400W, on the power supply thing in pc , if thats what u mean?

I play on lowest settings in every game pretty much , i also noticed that usualy when nothing is happening i have normal fps , but as soon as fight starts and theres effects and stuff fps drops from 60 to 10 (in league for example)
 
If I may butt in here...

You have no case fans. That will cause your CPU, GPU, and motherboard to get extremely hot and overheat. You need an exhaust fan to eliminate the hot air. They're $5 and will keep your components cool. An exhaust fan is not optional. You need one.
 
The minimum requirements for "World of Warcraft" and "League of legends", requires a better Processor and Video card, than what you have.
Even on your lowest settings, you are going to have bad fps. Having as low as ten doesn't surprise me one bit.
You are attempting to play games which require better Hardware, than what you have.
Stop dreaming, and play games which your very weak Computer, can handle.
Trying to play these games with a stock CPU cooler is a joke.
Of course the CPU is going to get hot under heavy load.

So... Just wanted to update you guys , I have opened side of my pc and put big fan right next to it and had it on for last 2 days entire time while playing , and it seems to have semi fixed the issues? the CPU temp never goes above 70-71 C and GPU always around 40-60 C. I have around 50-100 fps in WoW now and yesterday I turned on league (after playing WoW all day for like 12h) and it still ran fine! I had around 60-90 fps entire game , it droped under 60-40 maybe 5 times for like a secound during team fight , but thats about it , so I guess the PC overheating was the issue? also Is it bad in the long term if i use a normal fan? instead of getting a proper one for PC
 
It's still odd to me , that all of sudden I have those issues , cause I always had only 2 fans and everything was always fine, until week ago it randomly started being a problem ( even tho both fans were still properly working)
 
Are you using a liquid cooler or a fan cooler?

Are you GPU fans spinning or are they stopped? They should be spinning under load.
 
I'm using fan cooler n they are spinning yes, so I think it's fine for most part? I have new issue though, for last month after my pc being off for few h I would have issues with it, for example after waking up I turn it on and I can hear the pc working fine but the monitor screen turns on for half a secound with lg logo, and then goes blank and it keeps repeating like that for over a hour and then all of sudden it's working fine, so I didn't bother trying to fix it. But today after 1-2 h of wait its still doing it, any clue what could be causing it? Sorry for such late replay
 
Forgot to add it only happens after pc is off for few hours, if I restart pc while playing it doesn't happen
 
Sounds like it could either be a bad cable, bad monitor, or bad GPU.

I don't think it's a bad GPU, but rather a bad cable or bad monitor. Have you tried a known, good cable to rule out faulty cabling? Did you also ensure everything's plulgged in all the way?
