Looks pretty good. Temps and voltage look really good especially temps since you are using the stock cooler. Nice OC for your first time. You could probably push it a little more with those temps, just dont let temps go over 70c. Use HWmonitor to make sure the temp readings are right.
What are you thinking about upgrading to?

The Tuniq 120 extreme is a good cooler but you can probably get similar results With the Hyper 212+ and it is half the price. It is probably the best cooler for the price and is the most recommended on the forums, but if price isnt a problem then the Tuniq is great and it does look better.

As for the thermal past there is a lot better stuff out there than AS5 now.
Here is a review.

If it was me I would buy the Hyper212+ and get a GTX460.

No Problem, It will be a hell of a RIG.
Get the GTX 460, Im sure that is what you meant but I wanted to make sure.

hmmmmm looks like the Hyper 212 Plus wont fit into my case im gonna have to find somethin smaller any ideas anyone? my case dimensions are

20.50" x 8.00" x 17.75"

EDIT: I found in some post with the exact dimensions of my case on newegg all he did was remove a side fan thats right over the cpu so disregard this post =)
