For a cpu, you can expect temps between 45 and 60C under full load. That's with stock cooling. Anything over 70C can be cause for some concern. Just monitor and see what temps you get.

I wouldn't leave case open, due to the amount of dust that can get into your case or accidentally touching a sensitive component. It also hampers the air flow caused by your fan setup.
