So i would want to overclock my system but my primary problem is that my cpu and gpu hit 60-70 degrees cel. While full load in stock speed. Number 1 reason i live in philppines which is the ambient temp. Is too high! 

Additional info:
Cpu cooler: cm 212x
Gpu cooler: zotac amp edition. (Gtx 970)

Going back to the question. Is it okay to overclock? What is the safe temp/recommended temp until my components are not in good condition.

I wouldn't unless it's a very mild overclock. Even if you don't OC, I still think you should get some liquid cooling

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

GPU: Yes

CPU: God no

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Yes to both. For CPU 70C is on hot side if that is gaming/full load temp. But you still have some headroom to 85C which would absolute max under full stress test. Same goes to GPU, though you might not get as much performance out of it.

Water cooling should solve the prob

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

watercooling is not an option here in my country. the cost is too much, you can  buy  another new gaming rig for the price of a liquid cooling kit.

Depending on the CPU max temp if it's an AMD CPU then you are very high already. If Intel, I would try to OC and still stay 80C or below.

 

The GPU I would still say be careful and try to stay below 80C because heat kills the lifespan of components and you don't want your new system to die in only a few years.

I am addicted to building gaming PCs but I don't have a great reason to stop...yet...

Kabayan! Temperature is worst here in Qatar. Anyway, your temperature is the same as my hot chip, stock clock i7-4770K at Full Load of Intel XTU with my CM 212 EVO. I just got my Seidon 240M from Gilmore. Try to check out some of the stores there for All-in-One liquid solutions.
