If that's the temperature of the individual cores it could be better but it's acceptable. If it's the temperature of the CPU itself though, it's too hot. Watercooling is a serious undertaking though, and needs to be done precisely to avoid big problems. Your best bet is probably to buy a bigger CPU cooler, it'll be far cheaper, safer and easier.

Hehe, Aria, good choice.
These are pretty good CPU coolers: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component...productId=25586

As for the GPU, Aria don't really sell anything good, but these have been getting super reviews, I'm going to be buying one soon: http://www.awd-it.co.uk/scripts/prodview.asp?idproduct=4170

thanks for that, there cool just order the artic cooler from aria now should have it in about 3 days. as for the graphics cooler it will have to wait for now but i am going to be getting one. just one more question it just found my overclocking setting in my bios, but would you overclock my processor to 2.54ghz do you think that is safe and i think that artic cooler would help.

Ps do i have to get anythhing elese with it or do i just use cpu paste the same as a normal heat sink.

thanks for the help.

As I said, Aria don't offer anything very good, not that they don't offer anything at all. Nonetheless for a a card like the 8600GT you shouldn't experience any issues. For overclocking help post in the official overclocking thread.
