Does "water cooling" reduce the heat output of a PC or exhaust it more efficiently? - eviltoast

I work in a pretty tight office with a lot of natural sunlight. The space is quickly heated by my current PC (Intel i7-6700, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1080) even when ideal. I do have a pretty cheap fan on it (not that stock fan).

My question is that as I get ready to replace/rebuild this sucker - I’m trying to reduce the total amount of heat it outputs. I’m considering a water cooler but I’m also thinking that by upgrading my processor and graphics card, I wont generate nearly as much heat as I do now and won’t need something like a water cooling system.

Advice?

Thank you!
