If you're happy with it, keep it. I wouldn't water-cool your current GPU. Anything lower than 770/280x shouldn't be water cooled IMO.

 

EDIT: If I'm correct: You want to upgrade in a couple of years? If this is the case, then there will be a lot better GPU's of choice than the 770/280x ;)

Sell it and save money for GTX 780. The 280X and GTX 770 will give only a 5-10% performance improvement, which is not really worth it.
