I have a corsair h60 and an intel i5 7600k at stock, I get idle temps around 30-33c. Is this normal? and im using integrated graphics because I didn't get my graphics card yet so would this make the temp go up?
 
Solution
If you're not chasing the lower temp possible, then chill and stop worrying: those temps are perfect

temps could go up a little because the card will give some heat into PC case, but that is nothing to worry about
Normal idle temps for that CPU, but what is your 100% load temps?
Ambient room temp?

When it comes to the part of adding a GPU and if your temps will go up depends on your setup:

- Are the radiator + fan placed as intake or exhaust? (meaning do the fan push or pull cool air from the room? or does it use the air that is inside the case?)

- Are you getting a blower style GPU or an open air?
example:
Open air: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-rog-strix-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-review,1.html
Blower: https://www.nvidia.no/graphics-cards/geforce/pascal/gtx-1080-ti/

Open air dumps all heat into the case and the open air pushes almost all its heat out the back of the card and out of the case.
