Even with the dual graphics cards, you wouldn't need a liquid cooling setup. It's only needed if you do extreme overclocking of the CPU. What would make more sense for you, especially in light of the dual GPU setup to come, is to have extra case fans installed, so you have 2 fans pulling air in the front, and 2 fans pushing air out the back (and top if possible).

It's a special right now for free upgrade - should I just go with the Intel LGA1156 Certified CPU Fan & Heatsink instead? I am getting this board for future use of the dual graphics cards and possibly more hard drives. Would the liquid cooling be worth it at that point?
