Here is my updated build. I have no idea what to do as in the picture, my computer is shoved in a corner and every component is close to overheating. Water cooling is really not an option for me as it is way to expensive, even just basic radiators I cant afford. Any input on what I can do to help with cooling would be appreciated

You have to give it some airflow :/

The front panel of that case is very restrictive, but it has a fan mount in the bottom, if it's not being used you should populate it as soon as possible.

Are you using a CPU cooler that is not the stock one? If you are not, then spend $20-30 and get something like a Hyper 212 Evo or Rajintek Ereboss.

I have an idea. Get a case that doesn't have shit airflow. Like, one with fans in the top, front, and rear.

You could get it off the floor somehow and take the side panel off and run it, then you can see how much of a difference it is. Then maybe keep that panel off, but you will have to dust it frequently.
