my CPU gets to 81C playing battlefield 3.. should i do some thing about this Temp???

I'm gonna recommend you either A: Get better airflow in the case or B: Get a better heatsink.

My i7-950 @ 4.2GHz never gets past 65C

That is a bit toasty. Does removing the side panel help with your temps?

My fully loaded i7-2600K (not overclocked yet) doesn't get above 65C with two GPUs running full load also

eh, I mean he probably does but some processor generations just ran hotter than others, no matter what you did, IE: prescott (OLOL PRESHOTT)

its kinda odd how the heat programs work....

Pc probe2 MAX heat is 65C
speccy MAX heat is 74
Real temp MAX heat is 81

kinda lost

RealTEMP is the only accurate one in your list.

what should i get the

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H80 High Performance

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 High Performance

seems like my stock fan is bad or some thing

Tom's Hardware indicates H80 would be a good choice, though air cooling can achieve better/same results for cheaper, like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (or the Plus, it's little brother)
