Recently as in these past 2 days my processor has reached temperatures of 65c and beyond in about 10 mins of playing far cry 4, this did not happen in the past. Is 65c a dangerous temp and could the change have to do with new hardware like GPU? thanks. If you need more info ask.
AMD FX 9590 gets hot quick

Yes specs please? BTW... Fx9590 uses an insane amount of vcore so temps like that are going to be normal. Just make sure it doesn't pass 80C.
CPU= AMD FX-9590 Eight Core CPU (4.7GHz-5.0GHz/16MB CACHE/AM3+)
Motherboard= ASUS® SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 (DDR3, USB3.0, 6Gb/s, CrossFireX/Sli)
RAM= 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card=nvidia gtx 970
Processor Cooling=Corsair H60 Hydro Series
tell me If theres any specs i missed

Well technically, 95% of CPUs have a thermal max of 95-105C. However you don't want to be anywhere near that if possible, that's why I say 80C.
However, that is a H60, that should be cooling better than that. Try getting some new thermal paste and uping the fan rpm.
The rpm is max on the fans, it might be because i upgraded my GPU and im getting more fps so im using my cpu more? I have also recently taken the cooling block off and placed it back on, could that have messed the thermal paste up?

Yes, if you didn't put new thermal paste on then that could be your problem. You should never take a liquid cooler block (or any CPU block for that matter) off the cpu and still use the same paste, it will allow air bubbles to get in and hinder your cooling significantly.

I haven't recommended thermal paste in a long time, tom's hardware already did most of the work: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermal-paste-performance-benchmark,3616-17.html
Your GPU is fine, gtx 970 is very power efficient, so hardly any heat.
