hello, I'm looking to build a pc with 980ti gpu, probably skylake, wont be overclocking and mainly used for gaming - do I need watercooling - I know it looks good but want to keep costs down?

Won't be overclocking and keeping costs down.
You've just answered your own question.

If you're not overclocking then the only other benefit you could gain with watercooling is a quieter system.

For me the noise of any graphics card at full pelt even the so called quiet ones is enough of a reason to invest in a watercooling setup.

I wouldn't bother if not overclocking, it's expensive and makes it harder to change components if you want to upgrade.
