I have a Define S, and in it I have an R9 290, and an i5 4460 with a hyper 212 evo push pull. And to cool this all down, I have two fans in the front, and the stock fan in the back, but the fans still go full blast if I play War Thunder.

Have you been monitoring your temperatures?

Download HWMonitor and monitor your temps from there. Your CPU should stay under 80 degrees Celcius and your GPU should stay under 95 degrees Celcius

I played a round of War Thunder with HWmonitor running, and it said my cpu got to a max of 53c and my gpu reached a max of 68c.

Yeah man, fans will ramp up to keep it cool. That doesn't mean it's getting too hot. The temps you just shared are well more than normal, and nice and cool. Nothing with throttle at that temp.
