It is usually said that 70 degrees is not any abnormal temperature for a graphics card. But if you are worried, you may apply a graphics card cooler there.
Quick question I was wondering if a EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 G 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 750W Active PFC ATX12V v2.31/EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Full Modular PSU would be compatible with my current system.

Androshi, from everything I can tell, it would be compatible. The only thing to be concerned about would be your case. Many of the OEM's use non standard cases. The PSU in question is a standard ATX size, which means it will fit in most any standard size case. But, that does not mean it will fit many OEM cases. The listing from where you are looking to buy it, should list the dimensions of the PSU. Just measure your case, and see if it will fit. Otherwise, it should be fine. You should also look at the connections of the motherboard connections and make sure they are standard connections. Many OEMs will make non standard connections too.
My 2cents Androshi punch the components into this and see what size PSU you require and it will suggest a minimum and recommended size (gives a little more leeway.

I just installed my New PSU into my computer and played Neverwinter on low settings still because my graphics card is making loud noises and the temp skyrockets everytime I put the game on default settings and after a couple of hours my computer just froze and shut down does this mean something is wrong with my graphics card?
As you are suspecting it, stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

If the stress test goes fine but the issue continues as it is, you may apply any other card there on a test basis, to see how it goes.
