This means that whoever is building your computer hasn't taken any notice of the PSU requirements for the graphics card. You don't need a high end graphics card for Podium. This is a gaming card, you can downgrade it for 3d.
You can get better CPU coolers. Look at Overclockers and see what they recommend. They sell complete systems as well as components. Personally I would still go for a stock machine. You'll probably save money, and you'll get a proper warranty. If your local PC builder goes bust in 6 months, you're screwed.
Overclockers are well-respected, and have been around for a while.

Your drive might be the bottleneck of this configuration. Go with cheaper GPU and get an SSD along with that drive. Use SSD for system and standard drive for storage. Standard CPU coolers are crap. If you will be rendering, your CPU will be at 100% a lot of time. Amount of noise that stock cooler produces is unstandable.

If it is a shop installed liquid cooler with a warranty then yes, it should be more quiet. If it is DIY I wouldn't take the risk of something leaking in the case. Titan has good reviews. Take a look at how is the fan mounted on the cooler and can it be replaced. Any fan will start to make more and more noise after some time so if it cannot be replaced without replacing the whole cooler, try with different one.

You'd never catch me buying an Intel liquid cooling solution.
Corsair's liquid cooling are apparently pretty good, but I feel that for the money - the performance of a do it yourself water cooling setup beats the crap out of anything that's pre-manuf.
that being said, if you not overclocking, don't get liquid, like DavorP said, it's not worth the risk of having a leak.
