Man if i had 500USD to cool a room idd feel wealthy  

 

could you share some info on your specs?

Are you sure your computer is heating up this room to over 100deg? Like how hot is your computer? If you're sure it's your computer that's heating up the room, maybe you could try making a basement water cooling solution, sorta like what ant venom did- 

also in the winter if your computer really gets THAT hot, you can literally use it as a space heater...

From everything I've heard, the FX is a heat monster. Maybe spend the $500 for a new Ryzen CPU, mobo, RAM, and maybe a newer GPU?

Here, cheaper than spending $500 to cool the room. Just get a cooler PC:

For a single room, you can get one that will do the job just fine for a bit over $100. Here's just one example https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-FFRA0511R1-Window-Mounted-Mini-Compact-Conditioner/dp/B00W2KG92Y/

Yeah like Zando suggested, new system only cost you $400, and you have $500 to cool the room

These are called 'Casement' air conditioners and they are built to fit in windows like that.

Another option is a portable air conditioner, which uses a hose as a plate to exhaust through the window and those will fit most windows.  You can turn plate for the window to orient any way you want.  You can even cut the plate if it's too big for a small window.

 

 

 

These are the only TRUELY useful suggestions in this thread. No ammount of PC coolign will make your room cooler.  All that does is push the heat out of the computer more efficiently, it still heats the room just the same.  Unless you build some kind of cooling solution that exhaust the air to somewhere OUTSIDE of the room that is, but it'd be a lot easier and cheaper to buy an air conditioner

those won't work this is what my window looks like i found a pic on google
