Im running an AMD FX-6100 processor on an MSI 890FXA-GD70 MOBO. I've got three fans running in my case, one front sucking air in, one side blowing air in, and one top-back as an exhaust. My system idles at around 32C but when i run Minecraft and the internet at the same time, it jumps to 49C and seems to be holding steady.
These readings are consistent through the software that came with the MOBO and CoreTemp1.0 and Speedfan.
I've been reading that the max temp for my processor is 70C and im worried that either something was installed incorrectly (had it assembled at FRYs because i couldn't flash the bios myself) or if i play any games more graphics intensive it will overheat.
TL;DR: Are these normal temps for my PC/do i have my fans setup right/should i worry about running anything heavier than minecraft?

I wouldn't worry until the temps got closer to 70C. Even then, that's just the max recommended temp for longevity, not meltdown temp, so you're plenty safe at the moment.
