or water cooling is an option
 
What is cooling your video card now? You could add more case fans to your case, but that will only do so much and you likely won't notice a great increase in performance.

If you are using the stock cooler on your video card, your best option would be to remove it and buy an aftermarket cooler for your card that is mounted directly on it.

yer the stock fan and just the rest of the case fans. it sits at 50C but yer the thing is im gettin a 8800GTX overclocked so it'll run alot warmer
 
Definatly pick up a new cooler for the card. If you have a gtx you have limited options, either the arctic cooling extreme cooler or the thermalright hr-03 with a 120mm fan on it.

If you want, watercooling will do wonders, but for a gtx witl cost $150+

You can get a gpu block for ~60 and ram/mosfet sinks for ~20. Full cover blocks do tend to cost more if you go that route, though.

I just strongly recommend an aftermarket air cooler like those recommended above.
 
Sorry, thought it might be in the wrong section at first ;)

Maybe you could pick up some brackets in this shape: | |
