I bought this case during the last drop, and got it delivered last week. Believe me when I say it, it's massive, and it's not for the faint of heart. It is one of the easiest case to work with for a water-cooled build. I'm starting on my first loop this week.
I researched a lot on components for water cooling. You might want to look into these parts and manufacturers if you're going to go water-cooled: PETG Tubes: As I said earlier, it's a big case, so soft tubing might look like alien tentacles and wouldn't really look good. Use PETG tubes. (TT, XSPC, PrimoChill, BitsPower) CPU & GPU Blocks: If you're on a lower budget, go for one water-cooled loop. It would really help keeping your GPU in check, and if you plan on OC. (EKWB, TT, XSPC) Compression Fittings : Best if you buy fittings with the same ID & OD as the tube, and matching the Tube manufacturer, since they would have tested them (TT, XSPC, EKWB, BitsPower) Pump (D5 or DDC) with Reservoirs: You could buy the pump & reservoir separately, but there are tons of Pump Reservoir combo. (TT, EKWB, BitsPower) Radiator: Thick radiators are good, but the wider they are the better, since it makes it easier to dissipate heat. Buy one with a Fin density of at least 14. (TT, XSPC, Alphacool, Coolstream) Static Pressure Fans: TT, Corsair, EKWB Vardar, Noctua Liquid: XSPC, CryoFuel, Coolance
There are many other good manufacturers, and you'll find them along the way, but the ones mentioned above are pretty standard and popular. Alternatively, you could also buy water-cooling kits from TT or XSPC, and if you do get the TT, avoid using it's coolant.
