My computer is around a year old and clean the CPU regularly [almost every week]. However, there is so much dust accumulation inside the PSU and the graphic card fans and cpu fan.

How could i get these parts cleaned ?

Spray some compressed air at it to clear the dust out. Hold the fans to stop them from spinning so they don't get damaged from being blasted by the air.

You really shouldn't need to clean the CPU [heatsink?] on a weekly basis? If your system is getting that dusty then you should invest in some dust filters for the case and move the system to a less dusty environment.

No i don't clean the heat sink every week, i just remove dust the inside the case with a soft brush and clean the fans.
