I've also got 3 external hard disks and 8gb of RAM. If I should go for liquid cooling I wanna know if it's a hassle or if I should go with fans and heatsinks. BTW I'm using a gigabyte aurora 570 casing.

as long as your have enough air flow, and your case isn't cramped into a small space, air cooling is just fine. liquid cooling is a risky undertaking, more for overclocked systems that need an insane amount of cooling so they do not fail.

go liquid
like others have said, liquid provides better temps. However, that case you have is quite spacious...even with the 2 gpu setup. If you want to avoid the headache of a possible leak on a $500 video card, go air....that case provides sufficient airflow. If you plan on doing hardcore overclocking, then go liquid.
Wow, dude you have some pretty sweet rig right there.
Water cooling is a hassle, and although its far better at cooling than its fan counterparts, a small mistake could drown (literally) your system. However, if you're gonna overuse your system, like say more than 26 hrs non stop hard core gaming everyday in the summer, I suggest you go liquid.
Usually, a lot of fans could do the job, provided that there is an intake fan and an exhaust fan which are far away from each other. The Intake fans should be placed on the side of the PC where cool air can freely flow through.
How the heck did you get 8GB RAM?
It's a hassle and not worth it IMO. GOOD air cooling is almost as good as liquid cooling temperature wise with a whole less risk and cost.
It's nice to see I'm not the only one here with 8GB of RAM!! lol
