Hi Hitokiri Battousai
If your CPU is overheating above 70°C, start with a CPU cooler. If temperatures are normal, add a case fan. The CPU is usually the most expensive part to replace in your system.

A CPU might include a standard cooler. The case fan(s) are essential for expelling heat from the case. They can be very affordable or typically provided with a case.
