^ get the above cabby ASAP. Your gfx card must be suffocating in that Cabby. That cabby is the reason for high temps.

Keeping the obvious case changing advice aside, where do you usually keep your PC tower, in some desk/cabinet or in open air? During summer it will obviously heat up, but depending on the ambient temperature in your room.
But if those are temperatures only during load, then there's nothing to be worried about. Just have good enough fans for the front and rear. And get some cable ties and do proper cable management. I don't see the point in wasting money on a new case if that's the situation.
I would agree with Sorcy, I have a similar setup with a reference 7970 and CM690, I am registering about 85-88C on load with FC3, and I am from Chennai, the ambient temps here are very high, so I wouldnt be utterly concerned, just keep your cabinet open during your gaming sessions, that solve your problem.
90 not so...
below that okay.
I actually read some reviews and sort of shortlisted these:
Corsair 500R (Maybe pricey)
Antec Eleven Hundred
Cooler Master Storm Scout 2
Any idea which I could go for? Out of the mentioned, Antec has good thermal stuff I think.
Just do some cable management. And keep the cabinet in an open space. Those temperatures will not kill the card.
^^^ y no u get nzxt phantom in our bazaar section

you should get that ASAP if you had plans to buy a new cabby.
What is your budget for the cabby? I bought my corsair 500r arctic white cabinet online from M.D Computers, had to pay 500 extra for shipping.Look up in shops at Richie Street, theitdepot may have it in stock.
Corsair 500r should cost you 6.5k max if you get locally.
