Which of those 2 coolers should i get for my I7 2600K?

Scythe Katana 3
Hyper 212+

Which of those will be more quiet?

Never tried Katana 3, but have a bit of a warning regarding Hyper 212+: works very well, relatively quiet (don't know if it's better than Katana 3, though), but it's HUGE. Make sure your case can fit it, if you decide to go for it. I had to remove the top case side fan in order to install it. Otherwise, I've seen a lot of people on the forums recommending Hyper 212+ rather than anything else in that price range.

From the dimensions of your case I assume that it can fit a Hyper 212+ but you won't be able to install the top side fan. Your case's width is 185mm versus my Gladiator 600's 202mm. While that's only 1.7 cm less, it will probably make Hyper 212+ touch the wall of the case (provided that it's *almost* touching it in my case). So I wouldn't recommend it - there are other HSFs out there that are smaller and more efficient, though they tend to be more expensive.

Also, I would wait for someone's reply who actually has an experience with Katana 3.

After many researchings in the last hours i decided i will go for this:

Since it's the same brand, I assume it's made to fit into their case...

From reviews I've seen of the Hyper 212+, a case size of at least 19cm wide is recommended. The Hyper 212+ itself is 16cm tall so even with 19cm i think you would struggle to fit a case fan as well.
