I'm gonna build a watercooling loop to OC my cpu soon. What should I buy?

the 2600k is 3 generations old, and 3770k 2 generations old. if these are your only options get the 3770k but if i were you for what you are paying look at the 4790k

Unless you got these at a really sweet deal, I would recommend just going with Haswell and Z97 with a 4790k.
