Start by disconnecting PC from the wall. Open the case and carefully blow the dust bunnies off fan blades on CPU fan, GPU fan, and power supply fan, and clean the tower's air vents with canned air.
You may want to try starting up the PC with case open (use caution!) to make sure all the fans are actually working.
Not sure you can replace the fan on the nVidia card if it's not working, but if you have an empty slot you could buy a PCI fan card and install it so it blows on the video card.
