With air cooling you will be missing the VRM heat sinks, as they are only included when you purchase it with the liquid cooling option.
Those VRM heat sink(s) are notorious to find, and would need to be installed to prevent damage to the VRM section from overheating.
On top of that these systems are very picky when it comes to fan support, and often you get boot errors when using aftermarket fans. Only certain fans work, very picky.
Since you have little experience, I don't think you should attempt this.
