I bought a deepcool gamma archer and now I can't fit my back fan, so I'm either looking for a new bigger case if it will solve the spacing issue or I will buy a smaller heat sink fan.

My idle temps are 45-55 C° and gaming temps are 65-75° - is this good?

Core i5 4570
8GB DDR3 Ram
Gigabyte H81M-S1 Motherboard
Powercolor HD 7850 1gb Video Card
Corsair VS 450 PSU

Any cooler should be 10-15c. over ambient if it is mounted well.
I suspect it is not on squarely, or you have used too much paste.(a small rice sized drop is sufficient.)
Your gaming temperatures are fine.
85c. is about where you should start to worry.

Downdraft coolers are not very effective compared to tower type coolers.
I think you would be better off by using the stock intel cooler and mounting the 120mm fan as exhaust for better airflow.

Since the I5-4570 is not overclockable, it will not generate much heat.
The main justification for a aftermarket cooler is to get a quieter 120mm fan like the one you bought.

If you still want a quieter cooler, I have three suggestions:
scythe kotetsu needs 160mm
cryorig H7 needs 145mm

In your shoes I would send that back for a refund. I would instead use the 212 Evo or the Cryorig H7. I have a 4690K and the 212 Evo, with an additional fan doesn't block anything.

You can install the fan to the backside of the mounting area. It'll look odd but who can see back there?

Temps are about 10-15C too high. Nothing dangerous. What's your ambient temp?

In that order; All will be about $35.

Loving that the Cryorig is less expensive. The 212 used to be the universal heatsink king of sorts. It has been unseated by the Cryorig H7 and is now even less expensive(last time I checked newegg).
