I have been checking and i have got the water block positioned wrong not as said on the instructions.Now next Monday i am going to take the PC to a friend who build my PC and we are going to arrange the water block put some new thermal paste after that we will test the system and see if the temps will get any lower if not we will see in more detail the other components.Be back on Monday with some results hopeful. Thanks for the help 
Hi guys.Well my temps got a little bit better went down to a 39 -36c idle .
Under load still goes up little bit about 57-64.I think that i didn't do enough Thermal Paste on the cpu.
Well If you got anymore temps Pls post them here so i can see the really idle temps and under load temp / overclocked too.
Thanks Coiler

Well here is quite warm, room temp around 22-30.
Well later on I will try to overclock it at least to 4.3 or bit less but I need some sort of Core i7 975 with 6gb 2000mhz Dominator GT overclocking guide cause it will be my first time and I want to do right.
