Fx 8350 gets very hot, stock fan blows (no pun intended), I have a very small case measuring 185mm wide. I heard that watercooling is a good direction to go if you messed up and got too small of a case. Im wondering what would be some good compact watercooling systems what would fit in my 480 x 185 x 440 mm case
where to start for liquid cooling

- Start date
Solution
as for budget: I have no idea on the prices of liquid cooling, I don't necessarily want to overclock, It's just the stock fan with the AMD fx 8350 is very loud and runs at 6000 rpm, and hardly cools my PC, when playing games like planetside 2 i get up to about 60 degrees C
lets say 50$ CA roughly if that works

The stock cooler never is good, that would be your problem. Yes, you can go with water cooling if you want. Just remember to get a closed circuit cooler. But what I would do is get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2
This is an air cooler and it has nothing but good ratings about its effectiveness and it's only $30. I would try this before doing any sort of water cooling because water cooling is left for the enthusiasts and over-clockers.

Oh I see. Then yes go with water cooling. It will definitely would go with water cooling.
Here is a list of water coolers from pcpartpicker.com: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu-cooler/#w=1&sort=d3
To answer your question, any thing from Corsair is what I would always go with. I give them my highest recommendation to you.

Are you looking for a custom loop liquid cooling setup? Or do you simply wish to purchase a closed loop (pre-made) solution. Due to your case there is not much that you can really do in terms of liquid cooling. The biggest radiator you could fit inside is a 120mm radiator. The case was simply not designed for liquid cooling.
Liquid cooling is also expensive, if you are simply looking to improve your cooling and are currently running on the stock cooler then I would recommend an air cooler. Take a look at the Cooler master Hyper 212, its an excellent budget cooler.
Hope this helps!

There's my build. Look at the case I have for it. Notice how I have the same cooler and CPU. It's my understanding that this case is big enough for the Hyper 212 Evo.
