From the terminal you can type top, or install htop.
sudo apt-get install htop

Most Linux apps are written by geeks for geeks for free.
Anyone interested in writing prettier apps is welcome to do so.
Asking is a good start, who wants to contribute to open source?

If you search you'll find some, I myself don't use them so cant recommend any.

htop does not measure GPU load, only CPU. And for that he already has Gnome's nice System Monitor, along with dozns of other options.
For GPU, it depends on your card (ATI/AMD, NVidia, Intel) and driver (open source or proprietary). Since I use an AMD HD 7770 with its proprietary fglrx driver, I can only answer for that:
For usage % (along with clock speeds):
For temperature:Code:aticonfig --odgc
For fan speed:Code:aticonfig --odgt
And you can view them all in a single command:Code:aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0"
Since any ap would depend on proprietary and closed-source drivers, there are not many options out there. But I've found these 2:Code:aticonfig --odgc --odgt --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0"
AMDOverdriveCtrl
A complete Load/Temp/Fan control panel. I've never used, but looks awesome!

pSensor
Can be compiled with AMD GPU support. I use it myself, works great. But currently only Temperature and Fan speed, no GPU load

Hope this helps!
