Alright, I'll be sending an e-mail to the company that built me the computer and hopefully get myself a new card, and buy myself a new PSU for Christmas.

Anything above 85c under full load is worrying. 50c is great.
If above 85c make sure you've not overclocked it, if it's still like that on default settings then remove heatsink remove dust, clean the surface of the GPU and the surface of the heatsink with isopropyl alcohol on a swab. Re-apply thermal paste, Arctic Silver 5, Arctic Cooling MX-4/MX-2, Cooler Master High Performance etc...
Still like that? Make sure you have good airflow in the case, google case airflow for some cool tips.
Still? :conf: Upgrade your heatsink with an aftermarket one. Arctic cooling do some amazing ones.

 :ps: 350w PSU is criminally stupid. I wouldn't use any PSU less than 500w in any system I build.
Upgrade your PSU, cable manage the cables well, you can cable manage almost any case (even cheap shitty ones) to make them look like this...

I'll try doing what Trojan said, gonna start off by cleaning the heatsink.Can I just like, blow off the dust or use little ear cleaning sticks with cotton on top of them? Because I usually use that to clear it.

Oh sweet lord, the GPU cooled down to 50C after cleaning out all the dust in the heatsink.In the meantime my CPU was 50C when idle.Cleaned the heatsink too and cooled down to 42C

Thanks Trojan, but I'll wait and see if it starts doing it again I am taking it to the company I got it from.

Yes. The 560 TI is such a good card for the price. It will run any modern game easily.
