Thank you. Ouch
 
I chose Extreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 2: Cooler Master V8 (Compatible With i7 Processors)  rather than Liquid cooling. Will the Air cooling be sufficient for this system and upgrades or should I consider LC?

with LC you have a better chance at a higher stable OC, but air has been doing great also.

Air is more then sufficient

its up to, if it was me and I had the funds, I would go with LC.

You know what, now that I think about it you should go with the evga mobo.
