What kind of temps should I aim for?

I have the following parts incoming, and will be building my rig. I haven't built anything since like 04' so I don't know what the average/safe temperatures are these days. So with the following parts, and maybe overclocking my CPU a bit (a little over 3Ghz for now, until I get used to the system). What kind of temps?

 

ASUS Rampage II Extreme

i7-920

Corsair Dominator 6GB

2 HDD's - Raptor and 640GB

Two 5770's in Crossfire

Corsair HX850W

 

The heatsink I will be using is the XIGMATEK Dark-Knight.

 

Thanks for helping me out. :withstupid:

The i7's can run pretty hot. I would try to keep it under 60c at load for daily use, though others have ran theirs hotter.
