Add GPU Cooler and Replace CPU Fan over 60C?

I'm using a Q8200 processor with OEM CPU Fan and a Galaxy GeForce 9600 GT. The level temperatures for both are 45C, but they both cook up to 65C after running Grand Theft Auto IV for over an hour.

I know they have a Max of up to 90C, but should I cash in a hundred bucks and add a GPU cooler and replace the CPU Fan with a better one that fits my Mid-Tower ATX case?

before you decide on a GPU cooler, replace the casing cooling fan with a more powerful one rated at 12V 0.25 amps.
add another casing cooling fan to pull the air in the computer from the front.
the stock CPU cooling fan is probably OK.
