If I added two graphic will it create too much heat in the system?
If I added two should I use Water cooling?
The graphic card that I have is the EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 2GB GDDR5 256bit
and the motherboard is the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card.
I plan on playing the next-gen games so the games will need a lot of power.

what cards, what's your hardware, how many case fans do you have, and what's your cooling solution?

I have six cooling case fans and I'm not sure if I would want to add water cooling..yet.
I'm great when putting a rig together, I'm not sure if I could watercool the system, I'm quite a nobe around that area.
I hope that's enough info for you.
EDIT:I have 5 fan's in, large ones that keep my rig very cool.

Nah there's no heating issue. You're good. Water cooling is pretty sweet though. A lot of fun.

Yeah you're good for awhile. I'd say throw another bad boy on there.

Would adding a more powerful graphic such as the EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5 384bit be a smarter idea?
Sorry I went completely off-topic.

I'm not as familiar with the Nvidia cards as I am with AMD but what I would do if you want to do something right now would be to SLI another card then wait for the next wave of GPUs to come out and THEN get the badass ones.

If you get a second card and go SLI, that will keep you going for awhile. That would be my move personally. I have an R9 270x right now and I plan on getting a second one to crossfire sometime in the future (since they are dropping in price rapidly). and once those are finally not enough, then I'll get something really nice.

I'm out of money after building a kickazz system (IMO) soo I think I'll wait for the next amazing cards, maybe the next set of cards that support DirectX 12.

Throw another card in my system?
Maybe I should wait and save the money until I have enough then I'll get a better and faster card.
