Those temps seem pretty already

What are you wanting to cool? Your CPU and GPU? Once you have decided that there are two ways you can go:

You can buy a kit... these are pretty good:
This - for just cooling the CPU
This - for your CPU, GPU and chipset.

Or the 2nd route you could take it do design a custom build with the parts you actually want. Im sure others can help more but have a read of this and do some research youself. It will help you more.

Just find a good water-cooling specialist and e-mail them for advice. It's a very specialist field and although OcUK stock some water-cooling parts, they don't really have their heart in it.

How many 120mm ports does your case have? That's one big area where you may have to compromise on radiator space or else get into case cutting. Again - a good water cooling specialist can help you out there.

For a cheap, simple rig, try this;

Flow 120mm Radiator (with 1/2" barbs) (£20)
XSPC 400l/hr combined pump and reservoir (with 1/2" barbs) (£35)
D-Tek FuZion CPU block with 1/2" barbs (£38)
Masterkleer 7/16ths tubing (buy 10' as it's handy to have plenty) (£10)
6 12mm jubilee clips (£1.50)
1l Feser One fluid (£8)

That should cost you about £110 all-in and will fit into almost any case with a 120mm radiator bay. Use your existing 120mm fan to blow through the radiator. It should look a bit like this
