Hey, I'm buying a used I7-2600 from what I've heard it runs pretty hot. The sad thing is any reasonable cooler like CM Hyper 212 Evo doesn't fit my case. so the main problem is height it's around 154mm. So now I'm looking for good low profile coolers for around 27€ any suggestions would be great.

As far as I know, the coolers for Sandy Bridge CPUs were identical, so your i3 cooler will work fine with an i7.

If you're still unsure, then any cooler with an aluminium heatsink and 90mm fan will do just fine.

The thing is the guy doesn't sell the cooler with the I7-2600 so I just really don't want to stick my I3 stock cooler on it as it would probably overheat with that

I've heard quite a few complaint that stock I7-2600 cooler is pretty bad so that might be the case

They actually do make separate coolers, at least sometimes, I'm not sure if they were doing this with Sandy Bridge. The 95 Watt TDP cooler will have a copper core while the 65 Watt one will just be aluminum. Copper can be pricey so Intel saves money by just using a solid aluminum block for their low TDP chips.
