Question Which one of these is the best option? AIO

I'm on my way to buy a new PC and I went for the i5-9600k. I wanted to do some OC (not extreme but maybe try to push it around 4.7-5 ghz) so I decided to go for water cooling. My current budget only allows me to buy AIO kits and I found these 3, which seem pretty similar and both have positive reviews. If anyone can help me out on which to choose I would be very grateful.
The first one is on a spanish page as I couldn't find it on an english one.

Why are you looking at these coolers in particular? What case and ram are you using?

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

I can't spend much on cooling, and I saw pretty good reviews of these in particular.

I live in Spain. I can't spend more than 70€ (around 78$) in the cooling.

 

I'm using this ram:https://www.amazon.com/Team-T-Force-288-Pin-Desktop-TF2D416G3200HC16CDC01/dp/B0714KWBS7?th=1

Perhaps you should consider some good Air coolers instead.

 

You should be able to find a NH-U14 for less than those coolers and it can perform near the same whilst being substantially quieter and more reliable.

Out of the 3, either of the Deepcool coolers would probably be better. I'd lean towards the newer Captain 240 RGB V2 if you were limited to these 3.

If you don't already have the ram and can opt for lower profile ram <45mm tall, you could go with a similar but much quieter cooler like the Ninja 5: https://www.amazon.es/Scythe-SCNJ-5000-Ninja-5/dp/B079X3DBH8/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=scythe+ninja&qid=1562441933&s=gateway&sr=8-1

If you already have the ram, running a Fuma Rev. B with a single fan in the middle or the second fan at the rear in pull would still be quieter albeit not as good as the Ninja 5: https://www.amazon.es/Scythe-56500-disipador-para-negro/dp/B071XCCM7V/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=scythe+heatsink&qid=1562444093&s=gateway&sr=8-1
