What cpu temp do I need to monitor in hwinfo64?

CPU package. It's the overall temp of the chip as a whole read from the integrated heat spreader (as opposed to the individual cores). CPU IA is the sensor in the cores (which will always read the highest one, even if other cores are lower). CPU GT is the sensor on the graphics core.

Thank you so what one should I be watching? The package? Also what are good temps to be at? Currently @ idle the cpu package is 31°c, gpu is 29°c and system is 34°c. Playing MGS5 they were cpu 51°c, gpu 71°c and system 46°c. That was is a fairly warm room probably about 24°c. Thanks.
Yeah, the CPU Package. Those are pretty good temps. Intel states the TJMax for the i7-4790k is 72c at the IHS. The cores themselves can go to 90 (I think) before throttling down. Anything over 100 and the machine will shut down to protect the chip.
If you look at the readout under the 4790k: DTS section, it shows you the "distance to" TJMax, meaning how far you are from were throttling or shut down will occur. In your screenshot above, if you take the Core #0 readout and Core #0 distance to TJMax readout from the DTS section, you can see that 26c and 74c equal 100c (the rest of the readouts will total 100c too).
If you have a Core reading being 50 or 51 degrees under full load / stress / gaming, you're half way from being anywhere near throttling / shut down. So perfectly fine.
I'm on Linux myself, but not doing much, my CPU is in the high 40s / low 50s (ultrabook).
When certain parts of the linux backend (tracker component for meta data caching) kicks in, it can send the CPU rocketing to 70+ degrees. Which is still perfectly acceptable, if it didn't make my fans scream like a banshee.

Code:
Physical id 0: +48.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0: +47.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
