In my opinion, water cooling isn't as useful as it used to be since processors do not heat as much as they used to. You can hit under 30C on idle with a good enough heatsink, and under 60C on loads. Also, I'm taking into consideration that your processor might be overclocked.

As for additional fans, I don't think it's worth it since the case already comes with enough (hence the price...). As I said, if you see your processor/video card/memory is heating, then perhaps you can buy more cooling afterwards, but I'd definitely wait and see.
