CPU I wouldn't let get much above 50C (still "safe" though). GPU typically runs much hotter, actual temp depends on the chip. Imho 80C is pretty high.

In the end it doesn't matter though. If you build a gaming rig, you want the best cooling you can get in there (no need to jump on the liquid-cooling bandwagon just yet though). If it overheats, you need better cooling. The actual temps don't really matter.
