should i change a computer case or buy a cpu cooler?
I'm planning to change my computer case, because of the heat to CPU itself, But by changing Computer case + fans will actually help to reduce the heat of our cpu? or should i get a better CPU Heatsink?
The case that i plan to buy is gladiator 600

Is your computer overheating now? Have you tried blowing the dust out with a can of compressed air?
Your computer does have a cpu heatsink, I hope. You should never run it without a heatsink!
Are you planning on overclocking? If you are planning on overclocking, then you need the best cpu heatsink that you can find, maybe a water-cooled one.
But, if your computer is not crashing due to heat, then I don't see why you need either.

If your computer crashes at about the same time, no matter what program it is running, then that is a good indication that you are having overheating problems.
One way to verify this diagnosis is to open up the side of your case and direct a fan into it. If the computer runs longer before it crashes, then that is a confirmation that it is an overheating problem, because the fan is helping to cool things off.
Often, overheating is caused by accumulated dust inside the case. You can get a can of compressed air and blow out all the dust. If it still overheats, then you may need a larger cpu fan, or even water-cooling, which is what the overclocker's often use to keep their computers cool.
