Which should I get?

Pure Rock (regular size) / Hyper 212X / Hyper 212 Evo / Scythe Kotetsu are all for 35 euros in my country.
The Pure Rock Slim is 25 euros.

My setup:
CPU: AMD FX X8 8320 4Ghz
Motherboard: AMD 970/SB950 SAM3+ ATX/GA-970A-UD3P GIGABYTE
HDD: Western Digital Black 2TB SATA3 7200rpm 64Mb
SSD: Kingston V300 120GB SATA3, 450/450MBs, IOPS 85/55k, 7mm
RAM: DDR3 Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Case: Carbide Series® SPEC-01 Red LED Mid-Tower Gaming Case
GPU: SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 OC (UEFI)
Power Supply: Cooler Master 700W

I am currently using the stock cooler. However, the CPU temps reach 35-40c while idle and 75-78c while gaming.

Watercooling? you will be looking at prices even beyond Noctua NH-D14.
There are pros and cons for going water instead of air.
Depending on what you are planning I would recommend 2 watter cooling systems, both are all-in-one (AIO) sytems:
1. be quiet! Silent Loop 360mm. This one is quite expensive and you must watch out if your case can fit this.
2. Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H80i v2. This one should fit easier in more PC cases.

I don't intend to OC atleast so far I have not had the need for it.
What would you recommend?
Or maybe you know some water cooling alternatives?
