For example if i set everything to lowest settings, does my cpu/gpu temp will cooler ?
If so what graphic setting that use CPU ?
 
For most games (not all( the lower the resolution and visual effects, the more a CPU will be utilized (so less video card). The reverse is true, but usually to a lesser extent (most games will utilize a CPU pretty hard, even when full visual effects are utilizing the vide card).
