Hi guys i have a HD7950 PC with stock cooler, and i'm happy with them. I want cooled for WC but i don't know if is recommendable, or is a better option go for a GTX770/R9 280X from Asus? To upgrade in a couple years.

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.
