When i start my computer my graphics card starts out like hot but not really hot when i start playing games is it because my fan has a lot of dirt in it and its heating up my computer or do i need a water cooler that bad?

you can always fit more fans. buy a fan, mark it on the side of your case where the screws will go and the outline of the fan, and cut through the case with a diamond saw or something, DIY or you could buy a new case (or even better buy a new pc - i guarantee you can buy one better than that for $300 - that's how much it cost to set up my mailserver for work)

you dont have to plug it into the motherboard, get one that will plug into the PSU, and if you paid $995 for that within the last year, you were ripped off by alot of money.
