I'm thinking of adding a cooling, but I do not know which one is good. I prefer liquid cooling, but please help me on choosing one.

It's for battlefield 4

Solution
This is WAY unbalanced for gaming. You have a high end CPU/ motherboard and a GPU which will not get you close to maxing games and slow RAM.

As it sits you are looking at a mix of medium and high in BF4. NOT ultra or even high/ ultra, but for the same money, you could get ultra easily.
 
Can i suggest another $1000 build though? That build would be great for BF4:
