Are my CPU and GPU temps too high.

So I was wondering if my CPU and GPU temps are too high.
On my CPU when idle I get around 49-51°C and 70-80°C while playing games(I tested it on Witcher 3 and Dirty Bomb).
On my GPU when idle I get around 50°C and 70°C while playing games.
Here are my specs: Intel core i5 3570k
AMD R9 280x
6 GB RAM

Your load temps on the CPU are ok. however idle temps of 50C is very very high, what are your specs (like motherboard and CPU cooler).

Your GPU is perfectly fine.

I am wondering if the 280X air is raising the ambient temp in the case. This would cause your idle to be higher since the GPU's generally run warm to begin with.

Are you air cooling or liquid? Also what is the temperature of your room. Typically temps are +20 degrees from room temp.

Update.

What cooling solution are you using?
