I would try to find ANY combination of badass heatsinks and CPU fans before going water cooling. 62C isn't entirely bad, either. It's getting hot, but not too hot. A nice heatsink and CPU fan would probably get that down to around 55 C or so, which is perfectly plausible. Get some Arctic Silver thermal paste.

I can't really recommend water cooling. Your hardware is too nice, and it's not worth it. Get a nice airflow going in your case, ANYTHING but water cooling. I understand that water cooling is pretty safe with proper installation, but it's just not worth it for me. I wouldn't do it.
