Is this temperature safe?

Hi, I'm a newbie computer builder. My first ever gaming pc is now finished and I have recently gotten obsessed with keeping my pc safe so I started checking my component temperatures.
When I played Skyrim, my GTX 650 went from 29-33 (idle) to 60-63 when gaming, the game was at a stable 55-62 fps. Will these temperatures end up damaging my GPU? I'd like to have the graphics card working for at least a year until I can buy a GTX 760.

PS. I'm replacing it because it's not one I personally bought, I got from a friend who was upgrading. It's not old, it's maybe one to one and a half years old. Just in case someone was going to ask.

PPS. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for answering! :)

From my understanding, those temps are normal for a GTX 650 under moderate to heavy use. In fact, some tend to run even a tad higher than yours. I believe you will be fine.

Hmm... That is true, I didn't think about that. Thanks! I'll see how my budget and the prices change in a year.
