computer getting pretty hot

i just installed a 8600gts video card in my dell inspiron 531 and after playing GRID for about an hour I started noticing warmth, and it was comng from my computer. I felt the air coming out of the back and it was pretty warm, is this ok? Is there a program that will allow me to tell the temp of the processor?

    Warm air coming from the back of your PC is normal.  If you had the PC for more than 6 months or so open the case and blow out any dust with a can of air.  Unless Dell computers have changed recently they don't install temperature sensors in the motherboard so you are out of luck there.
