Reference or aftermarket 290X? Also, will you be overclocking the 4770k?

You only need liquid cooling if you are going to OC your cpu. If not just get something like the Cooler Master Hyper Evo.

This will be my first gaming computer, so I wanted to go big. I am having my pc built through iBuyPower.

You will be paying lot more than you should.

by liquid cooling, you mean a small all in one kit like the ones by nzxt and corsair. Or do you mean custom liquid setup? Closed loops are worth it if you get a dual fan like h100/110/105, especially if you have a window on the side of your case as it looks nicer than a huge air cooler. But $100 spend on all in one vs air cooler of same price, cooling is pretty much identical. Air coolers do move a lot of air across your motherboard cooling that as well though

For the most part, air cooling is fine, if you plan to try and run 4.7-4.8 might need to consider liquid, a Hyper 212 EVO will handle a 4770K fine through about 4.4-4.5 for most
