If you are a gamer or use graphic intensive programs, it will use the video card GPU, and it can heat up. You need a good fan to cool it.
The video card that you want to buy is a high end card, and should be fine for you, although you may explain why you need to buy it. It does have a good fan.
The answers you get here will vary on the reason for the need.
GPUs cool themselves, albeit noisily, you just have to make sure your case has a reasonable fan in it, and that's about it. You should only be concerned if one of the fans gets stopped for any reason (so make sure it doesn't happen! :-) )
