What are safe temperatures for GPU and CPU while gaming for longer time, 5h+?

Intel i7 4790K
Nvidia Gigabyte GTX 970 G1

In World of Warcraft (Dreanor zones and dungeons), at 1080p, 60Hz, with everything maxed except render scale (150%/200%), I get cpu~60c and gpu~63c

 
I had 4850 ATIs running at 109 C in Assasins creed with their reference coolers, and i got it to 56 with thermlatekes duo orbs.
Id say anything under 80 is safe zone, but the gpus will deteriorate faster than at lower temperatures. (this usually wont matter much, as after about 3 years they become obsolete anyway).

The main reason to keep temperatures REALLY low, is to keep the PC dead quiet :D.
