To set up the right temperature, you should extrude a bit of your material before printing products. Because this supposedly differs for every material you buy, meaning ABS from manufacturer A doesn't equal ABS from manufacturer B.
A good way would be to connect via USB and simply heat up the extruder and extrude a bit of material. If it works good (without clicking or anything), then lower temperature by 5 degrees and try again.
Once it start clicking or not extruding well (MIN TEMP) just increase that temp by 5~10 degrees and you should be all set.
I recently lowered my temp by a lot resulting in much better accuracy of my prints, will post a showcase topic about it later today.
Regarding PLA: if the walls are thin enough it will allow light to pass through easily giving it a milky-translucent appearance. Though any walls larger than 1[mm] will nullify this effect almost completely.
