I'd just finished building my PC today and need some input on wether if everything is ok and the temps seems kinda high and I didn't start to OC yet so I'm not quite sure what I'm missing?

"Not sure if this was the right section of the forums to ask"

BTW I'm using a Haf 932 Case so the Airflow is really good.

Here's a pic.

I'm not exactly sure how big a dime is but seeing as it's a coin that should be plenty :p

Are you sure the heatsink is attached properly? Temps should at least be under 40, I think.
 
Took some off and still shows around the same temp. 40-45c idle.. this is not normal.. any other recommendation??
 
Have you adjusted the Smart Fan settings in the bios? If not do so. Set them all at Manual - 100%

What Thermal Paste are you using with your heatsink? You should use this.
Newegg.com - Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Compound - Thermal Compound / Grease

When I apply thermal paste I put a small dab of paste in each of the red dots shown below. A dab = 1/2 of a paper match's match head. I don't spread it out, I let the pressure of the heatsink spread it. Works every time for me :D
