As the title implies, I am building my first water cooled PC. I have built a few air cooled PC's over the years, but this will be my second personal build, and the PC that I have been saving for/planning for a few years. I have done a lot of research, but as I get closer to actually purchasing parts, I'd like some feedback from experienced builders like yourselves. Here's the parts list with almost everything I will need.

A few questions I have right off the bat:
I need some advice on fittings, I have an idea of how I want the loop to go, but I don't know what fittings I need (trying to avoid buying unnecessary parts). Do I need fittings for the inlets/outlets? I've never even seen a rad or water block in person so forgive my ignorance.
What is the best way to control 6 fans? Fan hub? Splitters?
How should the airflow through the rads be set up? I am planning to have the rads on the top and bottom of the lian li case, I was thinking intake on top and exhaust on the bottom? Or should airflow through rads always be intake?
Thank you guys for the help.
