lately ive been noticing that my rig has been running quite warm sitting at roughly 36 C with just skype and steam open and doing nothing. I'm running a Intel i7 3820 with a Coolermaster Seidon 120M cpu cooler with its rad sandwiched between 2 120mm fans on the highest speed. ive checked if it was dirt and i cant find any, i try to clean the dust out every 2 weeks roughly. only thing ive noticed is the graphics card feeling really really warm to the touch.

Graphics cards and CPUs are made to run until around 100C give or take when under max load you want to be below 80C ideally; 36 is really cool for a CPU to run at, you are fine and they get warm, you don't need to touch them. And shouldn't unless you're earthed, static can render parts useless.

Your CPU hasn't broken a sweat at 36c. Ideally temperatures at or below ~75-80 is where you want to cap. Most processor will start throttling at 100c which is way too hot for a processor.

Case and point: You have nothing to worry about. :)
