Unless I misunderstand, your computer is in an enclosed cabinet and is overheating, yes?

Water cooling will not solve the problem unless you mount the radiator externally, outside the cabinet. If not, you're still trying to cool your computer case with hot air. No matter how big a radiator or high volume a pump you use, you'll never get it cooler than the cabinet interior.

I would propose instead you actively cool the cabinet with fans or better yet don't keep your gaming PC in an enclosed space.

Water cooling can be very effective in certain circumstances, this does not sound like one of them.
