I think I'm ok on the CPU, but the GPU seems a little warm. Is this normal? Also, the HD bay seems a little on the warm side. My room where my Mac sits is around 70 degrees throughout the day. There's no direct sunlight... is my Mac running within a safe range?

I'm going to assume this is Fahrenheit! You're fine.

Yes. And if wouldn't it would shut itself off to prevent any damage. It's a Mac. Stop worrying. Start enjoying. 
GPUs on the iMac and MBP often run hotter than the CPU itself. Nothing unusual there either.

Yeah, those are perfectly fine temps. Those would be really low actually for my iMac, it's normally in the 140-150˚ range for processor and GPU.

My Mac often operates at 160-170°. Yeah I need a new Mac... but it's nearly 3 now and has never crashed.
I don't think I've ever seen readings as low as 137°!

A bit toasty for the hard drive (under 131F is preferred), but otherwise fine and normal.

The iMac's HDD is located at the top where the warm air is blown out. It's enclosed by a very narrow case. These HDDs are always quite warm. Nothing out of the ordinary at all.
