Well im in quite the problem, the ac is horrible and the pc makes it worse by heating up the room. I may not need another fan but it could help the problem slightly in a cost-effective matter, instead of just not using it.

It won't really help to add a fan.

The amount of heat generated is dependent on the components and cooling doesn't change that.

^ Fan might help with components inside the case but it won't do anything for room temps.
