O.k, i got a new PSU and everything is working fine...except one thing

I cant plug in my case fans!!!!IF i plug them in, the computer refuses to boot up or turn on. It just makes a "cluck" noise from the pwr button and the PSU fan spins haflway through. Thats it. If I unplug my case fans, then it powers up normally, safe and sound

problem is....the GPU gets to 150F ala 70C jsut by browsing Google now! I dont want to fry the whole thing...could I get 2 giant fans at walmart and just aim them at the Mobo/GPu[leaving the case open ofc]

screw it, i just bought 2 huge fans for 16 bucks ea at walmart

works alot better than these kiddie-sized case fans. Temperature is now in the 40-50's C which is good. Before it was in the 70's

Its probably going to eat my electric bill though

You have other problems if you were hitting 50-70C.
