Is my computer running to hot?

The power supply you have is fine and a new one would not likely alter temperatures much.

Ok, good to know .... I will hold off purchasing one now.   So do you believe my constant temperature of 49Celsius (while doing nothing on the computer) is normal?

Certainly can be.  I haven't had an Intel CPU for a while, but 49 at Idle is reasonable, especially with 3 hard drives.

I built myself a brand new intel 775 660 this weekend & its idles at 36 c. but im also using a very nice fan/heat sink setup, not the stock one

Your current temps are probably fine, but if you want to go lower, I'd move to upgrading the heatsink next, or adding that front fan.  A really good heatsink will probably make the most difference of any of the things you can do at this point, but adding a fan is a lot cheaper, you might get more bang for the buck that way.
