Incognitas, if you're getting a lot of heat, that suggests you may have a fan that's not working or a heatsink that's not properly mounted. Don't go on using it like this; if things get too hot, you may succeed in frying some valuable bits of silicon.
Take the side off your case, a) check all the fans are working (sounds like a new setup, so there won't have been much time for dust etc to build up, but a fan connector may well have come loose) and b) see if you can find where the heat is coming from. If it's your CPU (is the heatsink hot?) or your graphics card, immediate action is needed, as both these can kick out a fair amount of heat. Some CPUs can fry within seconds of booting if they're not cooled at all.
And, since you're going to be touching components, it's a good idea to take antistatic precautions.
