Hi guys.
I was intending to install liquid cooling in my PC and ultimately get SLI 780ti s in my PC and overclocking them however: I wanted some feed back if that is the best step forward for me at the moment. Considering i built my PC having no idea what i was doing.

I currently run
AsRock H87M Pro 4 -motherboard
I7-4770 (3.4Ghz) -CPU
Single - Asus Gtx780ti -GPU
Antec HCG 900Wat -PSU

unfortunately i don't have a K version CPU, and was also wondering if it is worth it selling my 4770 and buying a K version of a CPU. Would the cash wasted be worth the overclocking value? considering the risk and reduced life?

So my thoughts on my current options are.

1) go ahead with liquid cooling
2) buy a new motherboard (as I don't think mine is good enough for overclocking)
3) sell my i7 4770 CPU and buy a K version

key note:
I am looking for a good computer that would last me a long time. Without having to upgrade my PSU
budget really isn't an issue as i plan on doing this over a long time. But i wouldn't want to waste money if i can avoid it.

i wouldn't. Your cpu isn't going to bottleneck even with 2 780TIs. Then when your cpu is outdated go with a upgrade. I think it's kind of silly to spend money if your already running just fine as is. When your cpu is finaly out of date the oc version will be too, or will follow right behind it. so save it for when you actually need it and compound interest that s**t.

A 4770 will last you a long time. It won't be a bottleneck for at least 5 years. Is that long enough?

If I were to build a system with 2x780ti then I would definitely do an expensive liquid cooling setup. This would be great for gaming across 3 monitors. Is that your intention?
