Depending on your equipment, that can rise somewhat.
On my older Athlons (especially the 939 non-dual-core x64s) the proc would hit 60C regularly under load. This was normal, as the thermal specs for that series said they would be stable until 80C.
On the newer AM2 procs, and both 939 and AM2 dual cores, they have much better heat protection and power control. Over 50C is noteworthy, 55C is worrisome.
On your GPUs, it depends. Because of the fact that they tend to run 100% of the circuitry in the main chip under load, they get stupidly hot. For NVidia, I'd be concerned if you break 90C, and worried at 100C. Be aware that they are designed to go to about 120C by NVidia. Not sure about ATI, since I never buy their shit.
HDs - I get worried if they break 40C.
MB - 50C is high, 40C is average. It depends on your flowthrough and what sort of thermal protection they build in.
I tend not to worry about case temps, mostly because I tend to run with the side off my case, especially in summer when the noise can never be heard over my wall AC anyway.--
