This is my current computer... Yes it is AMD get over it

I have to replace my Liquid cooling as it has stopped working or just isn't up to the task anymore as my CPU is running at 65 degrees when it should be more like 25.

Anyways so while I'm changing that up I am asking what else I should try to upgrade while I'm there or what to upgrade my cooling to.

x61 and 980ti
i unno u didnt give us a budget

im thinking max of 300 CDN

only thing I absolutely need is a new cooling system

i replaced the fans on mine after about a week.. as they are a touch loud.. up to you wether you decide to or not.. but i have this on my 8320 cpu, OC@4.5ghz temp hasnt hit over 50*c under the highest load i could push at the cpu ( rendering 3 songs in cubase simotaniously)

would change to intel, gain like 40 fps.

Have you tried dusting / Replacing thermal paste? I doubt the cooler just went out.
