Oh yea, unless you are planning to overclock the computer water is a waste and expensive. My main computer is water cooled. I like it, but don't suggest it very often. The extra expense and hasssle is not really worth it unless overclocking to extreme measures. I have also found over time that overclocking to the max for daily use wears out components much faster. On another note, your current setup is already fast enough, that there is no need to overclock it in most cases.
Im actually overclocking right now from 3.4ghz to 4.0ghz and everything is stable and cool. Running SWTOR at max rez for a couple hours and temps stay between 40-50c. Just doing it really to test all the hardware to see if anything breaks while its still under warranty.
4.0ghz is nice. I'm sure you can push it further, but be careful! lol
There are programs you can run to test stability. To check cpu temps I use Intel Burn Test...it stresses the hell out of cpu!
I also use cpu-z and fanspeed to what temps and such. There are many more programs that can be very helpful for testing and overclocking. I suggest checking out overclock.net
Here are some links to the old pc I'm still running.

Sick!
I see you edited your first post. I explicitly remember you saying you'd donate all this equipment to dunsjohn in commemoration of him being too poor to buy it for himself (aka a pity gift). When am I getting all this? hehe. /<object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object>
