Yes get the cryo rig ,stick with air cooling ,liquid cooling will get your CPU cooler but there are other components on the motherboard that need to be cooled and will be neglected by liquid cooling (unless you run a custom loop and that starts to get expensive) try and intake all your air into your case from the bottom up and exhaust out the top if you can,this way if you decide to put a waterblock on your graphics card you can put a radiator up top of your case and it'll exhaust the heat keeping the temperature inside your case nice and cool.

Every Processor is different. If you are just going to OC a little 1ghz or so, if so air cooled would be fine. If you are wanting to Stress it and OC it more than i would suggest the liquid cooler.
