whats your room temp summer/winter if it is about 75 deg then you need LC if not no unlees u get stage 2 oc. you want stage 3 or 6 if you choose LC. frost chill and subzero.

its all up to you weather u get it or not. just warning you a LC system costs more and you also need to maintain it.

add fluid as needed
checking the flow
a flush every few years
all on top of the air maintenance since you still have fans

why do you need LC?

What's your case, do you have any overclocking, how hot is your room, how hot does your current computer operate, what are your current computer cooling components?

liquid cooling is needed when you want to go extreme on overclocking, or to just simply show-off.

LC is for people who want to push their parts to extreme limits or just want lower temps then air.
