I am not planing on overclocking the CPU , but I do plan on using the CPU for extremely long sessions in some mid/high loads.

I want the CPU to maintain relatively low temperatures and have a long life span.

I am afraid that the stock cooler might not be enough for the task.

What cooling should I go for ?

I don't mind getting a simple water cooler if necessary.

Budget is not a thing here considering I don't really need an high end cooling solution.

The 212 EVO is a good choice. Most watercooling solutions (AIO solutions) aren't worth it until you get into the 240mm and 280mm radiators.

Cooler Master 212 Evo would do the job for you here. You may also check Noctua NH-U14/12S as well.
