Run a CPU and GPU load program and see how high they get. Also keep track of the room air temp. Air temp dictates your computer temp so if it rises so will your systems temps. Find the hottest part of the day and run a load test and adjust parts as needed to handle it.

General rule is keeping CPU under 55C and GPU under 75C under load. However as long as it is stable in the most sever conditions (full load highest room temps) then it is fine.
