Well, i'm getting right now 38 - 42º C from Speccy, when playing (i only check with Rift) it's around 58 - 61ºC. I only have the stock cooler who came with the CPU and 1 extra chassis fan (Aerocool Strike -X One) and i don't have a video card, only the Intel HD Graphics.

I'ts that a safe temp or it's too high? Would be for the extra work of the prosscesor using the GPU?

the max TDP is the amount of heat energy the cooler can handle coming from the chip. in this case higher is better. the Hyper 212 can handle 180 degrees so it would be a better fit. I am actually using the Hyper 212 on that ata server I was telling you about. With a clearance of 158mm it will be snug but you should be able to fit it inside your case. your other option is a Corsair H100i. It would fit better I think and might be less cumbersome to install then a big cooler like the 212 or the N520.

61c is fairly high. I have the exact chip in a Data server sitting behind my desk. its currently idling at 29c and under stress hits the low to mid 40s.
I dont use a stock heatsink though so that is probably the big difference. if you case can support it I suggest a Cooler master Hyper 212EVO. make sure you have about 6.5" clearance from your CPU socket to the side of the case. IF you dont have enough room I would suggest a Closed loop liquid cooler.

What do you think about this model http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/hyper-series/hyper-n520.html looks good and came with two fans and less TDP than the EVO. I have a chasssis Aerocool Strike-X One Advanced, in the specs says this (Height limit for CPU coolers ( Without side fan ) 158mm)
