Being with AMD processors for some time now they tend to work a little hotter and if you haven't would highly recomend looking into an aftermarket cooler as well.
If you have one I would double check it is working smoothly because even if the processor maxes out at 100% useage it shouldn't overheat unless there is an issue with the cooling.
I am going to look into an aftermarket CPU fan, this build was the first time I got lazy and just used the fan that came with the CPU. That being said, I have never had the machine overheat playing ANY other games.
Yeah DA: Inquisition seems to be putting a lot of load on the CPU for some so probably why you've been good until this point.
I would highly recomend picking up Cooler Master Hyper N520 with some good paste, usually can find the cooler for roughly $30USD, and my temps have yet to go over 75 even at full load.
