So yeah my Broken PS killed my MoBo(Gigabyte) so I had to replaced both. Anyway, I tried to play RE and the Asus Monitor kept on warning me that my CPU temp is at 60 degrees. I'm kind of getting paranoid right now, so I'm gonna Abstain from playing.

I also remembered they didn't get to put on thermal grease on the CPU before putting on the HeatSink. So I was wondering if there was any particular brand you'd recommend or if any thermal grease will do.
Anyway My specs Are:

I have 1 tera WD HDD

And that's all I also have a d-link wifi thingy so that my Sys.U can detect wifi.

No,I don't think your CPU heatsink was placed before putting thermal paste. I say that because your temperatures are normal if it's around 60-65C. I'm having an AMD A6-3650,and my temperature was around 65 and above without a discrete GPU and an aftermarket CPU cooler. Your APU is newer and has a better IGPU. So your temperature must be around 65-70. But I'd say that's not a safe temperature. So you got to have an aftermarket cooler if you need to be in the safe zone of temperatures. Heard the Arctic Silver 5 is a good option for a CPU cooler...

AMD's website says the maximum safe (Core) temperature is 74C for that processor.

So make sure you have a proper Core temperature monitoring program (CoreTemp or AMD Overdrive should do) and run some tests; use Prime95 if you want a convenient, controllable method.

Arctic Cooling MX-4, Noctua NT-H1, or Prolimatech PK-III are good choices for thermal compound.

I had an A-10 Richmond that would shut off at 75C. 74 is the MAX. 60C is fine. If you are worried, get a better CPU fan and make sure your case blows nicely. I had mine in an HTPC with 3 80MM fans blowing in, and one 70mm exhaust. I used a cheaper Zalman fan and was sitting around 30C idle and 45C load.
