Default Inadequete Cooling

Sorry if i can't spell, anyways, I just built a comp for my little brother, and it is a 3.2 Ghz AMD Dualcore and it overheats alot just at stock settings(haven't even begun to overclock) I got a Big Typhoon(not the vx, just the regular, i was planning on up grading the fan) and im seeing the same heat levels on my chip as before. At idle, right now it is sitting at 51 C(hovers between 50-53), whenever i start installing programs, it jumps up to around 55-56, and games will in a matter of minutes cook it to 61-62(never really let it go past that as the alarm sounds at 65) And right now i even have the case cracked open with a house fan blowing directly on it(until i can afford a bunch of case fans to improve the airflow on this) Any suggestions
