I have the stock Intel cooler and I'm looking to upgrade it with one of the following or something else someone recommends.

COOLER MASTER AQUAGATE VIVA

ZEROtherm BTF90 92mm Silent UFO

ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm

I can´t go over 50$ USD so what do you think?

I was also wondering if i could "upgrade" the Aquagate viva by changing the cpu block and maybe adding a gpu block or is that just simply not gonna happen?

What would be my best choice? My current temps on CoreTemp are 55ºC idle and up to 75ºC after half an hour on Orthos.

1) Stay away from that water cooling kit. Stay far, far away.
2) Not a bad cooler, but I'd think long and hard before putting a butterfly into my computer.
3) Not the greatest cooler, but certainly better than the stock Intel one.
4) If you can order from newegg, the Tuniq Tower will fit into your price range.

I agree with afzsom, go with the tuniq tower or with the thermalrite ultra 120. I think the thermalrite is a bit higher than $50 though.

Pretty much can't beat those for air cooling (Thermalright ultra 120 extreme, Tuniq)

Another possibility is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 for under $40

This one is $32.99 after a MIR on newegg.com:
Thermaltake CL-P0369
I just ordered this for my system...I will receive it tomorrow and let you know how well it cools.

It's not a problem that i live in mexico, I go to the states every so often as my parents live there. They also come here pretty often, so I usually just buy my stuff from newegg or some online site and have it delivered there since everything here is a lot more expensive.

Anyway, why should I stay clear of the Aquagate Viva? Can someone explain please?

Pre-built water cooling kits are made from very cheap components, are very prone to leaks from components, or pump failure, or any number of other issues. If you want water cooling, there's a entire section devoted to that, but be prepared to spend $250-300US for a custom kit, anything less just isn't worth it really (unless you can find good parts, used).
