You can try and get a third party GPU cooler but they are not easily available in India and of course they dont come cheap. I got mine for around 45$ from the US through a friend of mine.

80mm should do a good job,anyways reapplication of thermal paste and directing as much air as possible from the 80mm on the heatsink should improve performance of the cooler.

the fan should be intake, right?

Have you removed the heatsink completely or have you stuck the fan on top of it?

I

just suck the fan on top of the copper heatsink using fevi quick

Yes, intake. Remove the old fan too. Let the old heatsink be on.

If nothing else works, try keeping the cabinet side cover open.

this way my temp(using nvtemp) is 55 degrees, i have just firefox open, is it ok?

Fan should suck air and blow ON the heatsink it is fitted over.

I

it does exactly that
but whne i play warhammer 40k,mark of chaos with evrything on the temp goest to 117 degrees.

I suspect bad thermal interface,reapplying thermal paste shud work.

But whatever you do, just sticking an 80mm fan over the heatsink wont be enough. It wont cool efficiently. I guess the only option is to use a replacement heatsink/fan combo.
