Always torn on whether to go water or stick with air.

Watercooling can last a very long time.

Until recently I was still using my old Lianli tower with a early EK block. I've had most of the components for 10+ years and it still works fine.
Soft tubing helps a lot when changing components, as does a core only GPU block.

The current trend for hard tubing and full cover blocks makes for a better looking build, but more expensive and less practical.

Air cooling is far more sensible these days unless you want a quieter system and have the £££.
As it's working fine I wouldn't worry about it. What motherboard is it? Maybe next build pick a mobo that has more CPU socket to x16 PCIe socket clearance. ;)
