What temperatures should I target in my build?

[EV_Creeper]

Hello guys. I'm making my first gaming PC build. I think I'm done checking the components, I'll link them later. But I'm concerned about temperatures.

I used to have a regular desktop PC and it was always hot, but I didn't bother checking the temperatures and stopped using it when I bought an all in one PC. It overheated and the motherboard was burned. I started using a laptop Gateway, some days before it overheated as well, I checked the temperatures for the first time and it said 60°C on idle, and 92°C on load.

Right now I have an HP laptop and it has 55°C on idle and 82°C on idle, even with a cooler pad. I feel it will just burn by using chrome some day...

Any way, I want to leave that laptop just for work, and build my own gaming PC. What temperatures should I target on both CPU and GPU? Can the stock fan cooler that comes with the i5-4440 maintain those temps?
I believe airflow matters as well. Adding fans will help, right? I seriously don't want another computer that gets overheated too easily

CPU: i5-4440
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX2.0
Mobo: GA-H97M-DS3P
Ram: Kingston Hyper X Fury 2x4GB 1866 MHz
PSU: EVGA 500W
Case: Aerocool Strike X ONE Advance

I have an i7-4790K (not overclocked) with a Noctua NH-U12S and an EVGA GTX 970 SC (reference cooler version), in a Fractal Design Define R4 case with 3x 140mm intake (2x Noctua A14 front intake & 1x Fractal Design bottom intake - all set to 7V instead of 12V). I see idle tempertures of 23-24C on the CPU/GPU, and load of 55-60C (CPU) and 50-65C (GPU). Any help?

EV_Creeper,

At 22C Standard Ambient, here's the typical operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)

Your highest temperatures will occur during stability tests. Temperatures are lower during real-world everyday workloads such as processor intensive applications or gaming.
