AMD A8-6600K is my processor does 70-80 c is ok while Im gaming or doing some browsing?

Doing some browsing and reaching 70-80 c? That's very high. Check to make sure the heatsink is seated correctly and the fans are free from dust.

That's pretty high too for idle, what are the temperatures of the room it's in, if you know?

Yes it'd run fine at that temperature, and won't really damage it, but it's still high. I wasn't intending to mean it was TOO high
