I just bought BF Vietnam, was playing it on High detail with AA and AF on, unitl yesterday when i guess i got up to the dangerous level for temp. and my computer shut down, that blue screen thing, i'm guessing it started running to hot. No other game i have has done this yet, BF is the first one. Anyway i turned off AA and AF and pushed my graphics card more towards the perfomance side of things as opposed to the Quality side, i used the little slider thing.

I have a Gateway, i know blah, blah, blah my father in law bought it for me and me wife, but it runs really good so far. I'm thinking i need some fans. I opened it up yesterday to take a look at where i can put some. As of now there are none, yes none in there. I have the option of one in the front maybe a couple on the side and one in the back.

Now my question is if i can let's say two fans, one for the side to pull in and one in the back to suck out, will that be good? The only thing i am worried about is by PSU is only 250 watts, i would guess fans use very little power though. Any suggestions?
I also have a 3.5 floppy, One DVD+/-RW, one CD burner with my specs below. thanks
 
What sort of temps are you getting? Have you checked?
If you're going to put many fans into the case, I'd recomend a new power supply.
 
With 2x fans you are ok. one pushing, one sucking. Your psu will handle it.
