@Miguelc98 and this wont mess anything up in my system?
No. This is a direct bolt-on cooler, but needs to be installed with the usual care and diligence.
Next you might consider upgrading you PSU to 850 watts (or more). This is not necessary for the H60 installation.

Great! Consider getting some good quality thermal paste to replace the 'pre-applied' stuff.

Hey Miguel,
I just got pretty much the exact same setup, except with a 30 series.
Same here, hitting 85 C every time I play anything intensive. Did this liquid cooler work? How did the install go?
