Need advice on my upgrade

Hello folks, basically here's my build:

Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-4930K (3.4GHz) 12MB Cache
Case Model: Cooler Master HAF X V2 Black Tower
Motherboard - ASUS® RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION: INTEL X79, SOCKET 2011, R.O.G
Memory (RAM) - 24GB KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (3 x 8GB)
Graphics Card - 3GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 780 Ti - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready
1st Hard Disk - 240GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 555MB/sR | 510MB/sW)
2nd Hard Disk - 3TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD3003FZEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
RM SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET
Processor Cooling Corsair - H100i Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
Thermal Paste - ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND

Now what I wanted to know is should I upgrade my card to the 980 or buy another 780ti and SLI it? Also another question I had is should I water cool my whole system? I've recently started recording audio scripts and my mic is fairly close to my case, I'm just worried if I get noise feedback at some point. Moving things around isn't a good option as space is a serious issue for my set-up haha. Or can people recommend extremely quiet fans. My third question which to be fair isn't really a concern on this site is, does any body know a 3 way clamp desk stand for my monitors... At the moment they're kind off all over the place and I'd like all 3 set at the same level. 2 screens at 23inch or 21.5 and the other is a 21. Now finally, my last one. Is it worth overclocking my system? Or am I getting enough from this as it is? 3.4ghz on my cpu... So in all fairness I'm not too into OC so I'm clueless here.

Thanks for your time people!
Any help is appreciated!

2nd gpu depends on what you are planning to do, is it gaming? 2 GPUs will generate more noise and heat. Water cooling the whole system is an option but an expensive one.

Ah I see, well I do a lot of gaming and video editing with a slight bit of image and 3D rendering. And when you say expensive... how much are we talking, realistically? Thanks :)
