I'm planning on a building a gaming pc, which will probably include an i7 9700K. so is it worth getting liquid cooling?

Water cooling is needed when you have high ambient temps like living in a hot place without AC.
Also if you are extremely overclocking you might have about 5% better results on average with better cooling from my experience.
I switched back to air cooling long time ago as it provided no benefit for me, I am in Canada and its cold here, I have AC in the short summer. With water cooling you have the hassle of maintaining it and there is a chance of leakage which can damage components.
