I just recently made my first PC (finally ditched dellienware) and I want honest criticism and advice. I made my PC with the intentions of gaming.

CPU: i5-3570k (OC'd to 4.3)
CPU idle temp: 35-40c
CPU load temp: 55-65c
PSU: Corsair HX850
GPU: MSI GTX 760 TF 2GB SLI
GPU temp: 35-40c
GPU load temp: 55-65c (not OC)
RAM: 16GB G.SKILL 1600Mhz
SSD: 128GB Samsung 840 series
HDD: WD Black 1TB
MOBO: ASUS PZ877-V LK

I ran Heaven 4.0 benchmark at 1920x1080, max settings, x8AA, at 45-55 fps. Crysis 3 auto recommends Very High settings. Should my PC be performing better? Are my temperatures okay? Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
 
Solution
You should worry if the idle cpu temps were something like 60c. With good hardware and software maintentance it will last for a good amount of time

I was worried that my CPU idle temps were a bit high. I thought repasting it would help. But other than that, everything seems to be up to date? I hope it will last me for the next couple gens
