Decide between Corsair watercooling systems

Hello!

I was looking trough a computer hardware site today, and I noticed they had weekend sale. What amazed me was the prizing of the watercooling systems. I saw a H40 for 43$, a H60 for 52$, and what literally shocked me, a H100 for 105$. These prices may seem normal to some of you, but for you reference, all of the products I listed were 50% off. Sooo.

The question is who of them I should buy. I see the H40 has a different type of tubing, which I think may be easier punctured than the H60 and H100. My dad actually has a H60, which he has had since 2009, with no problems. The thing is I think it's outdated. Or? I do not overclock, however, it would be nice to have to option to do so later, as I only have a H77 board with a 2400 cpu. The main reason I want one of these is purely for silence. I almost chose the H100, but I've read about major pump noise for a lot of users. So I do not really know. Should I forexample just buy a H60/H40, and use the rest of the money on proper Corsair/Noctua fans? i am going to buy myself some new RAM also, some Vengeance stuff, as the memory I have now is two different brands.

I would greatly appreciate any help, that would make my weekend.

Anyhow, here are some other specs:
Case: CM || 690 Advanced
PSU: Corsair CX600
MB : Asus P8H77-M LE
CPU: Intel i5 2400
RAM : Team and Corsair 2x4GB sticks 1333Mhz
HDD : 1TB+1TB+150GB HDD and 128GB SSD
 
You won't get much overclocking with a 2400, so unless you get a different CPU, no overclocking. Out of those, I'd get the H60.

I meant as in the future, I know the 2400 is NOT a good overclocking chip, but I want to have the option to OC if I want to do so in the future with new hardware :D Right now I mostly want one of those for the silence, as my computer now is "not" so silent.

you can oc the 2400 ~100mhz max.
