Hello.
I'll get straight to the point. I got into PC gaming about 2 years ago and I have always wanted to build my own 4k Mega Machine since I heard and played at 4k. I have built my current pc, but I didn't pick any of the parts directly and I am pretty lost in what I'm doing in some areas cough cough cooling cough cough).
With the help of some PC hardware-literate friends we came up with this build.

If there is a better 980ti I should get (within reasonable price) or a cheaper case that still works well let me know. I'm pretty much sure about CPU, RAM, Storage (salvaging another drive from an old pc for all my other stuff), and PSU.
So I have 2 questions regarding this system:
1. How should I go about cooling the GPUs? I have the CPUs down (and if I don't someone will tell me). I dream of watercooling, but I don't really know what parts to get and overall have never built a watercooled system before. I guess what I'm looking for is a good fan solution or an easy to understand watercooling option (I'm open to learn and drop some money on it. I just don't want to do anything that takes expert level work or that creates a lot of maintenance down the line) . Again, this is 4k, so I'll need all the performance I can get.
2. Switching over to talk about displays, what 4k display(s) should I be looking at? I have plans to get 3 of them, and I have a budget of around ~$1,500 for just displays. I personally was looking at either the Dell 27" 4k* display or the as of now unreleased ASUS PG27AQ 4k IPS* with G-Sync. I know IPS is a necessity, but should I be trying to get G-Sync as well? I don't know how bad tearing is at 4k.

Thanks in Advance to any help
P.S.
I don't know if I made this clear when I talked about it but I know watercooling takes maintenance and work. If anything I am looking for something that gives great performance gains with an ok-ish amount of maintenance if any. Sorry if I sound dumb talking about this, I'm very new to watercooling.
