What is your reason behind not wanting an Intel CPU? Also, what is your budget?

Well i thought amd was a little cheaper and a price range from 800-1000 at least maybe a little mroe if needed

Well AMD is cheaper. But at that price range, get an i5. It is quite a bit better. Check this build out.

Yes, you can upgrade to both the 4770 or 4790, both K and non K versions. You won't need water cooling unless you want to do some extensive overclocking. If you want to mess around with a little overclocking, I would suggest getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
