You get the tube to match the compression fittings. Same as you mentioned. 
 

Also what are you gonna use to connect the res to the pump? Unless you plan to use fittings like the rest, you’d need two more.

Hi KEVH0L3N,

 

For fittings, you should consider "no name" fittings from China. I just bought 16 3/8" ID/ 1/2" OD compression fittings for $24 USD, (8 Pack), 15 90° rotary fittings for $37 USD, (2.66 ea), and 4 45° rotary fittings for $11 USD, ($2.47 ea). The quality of the fittings is excellent, with the exception of the paint, which comes off rather easily. I paid a total of $72 USD for my "no name" fittings. If your going with a "brand name", (EKWB, Enzotech etc), you will be paying about 4 -5 x's for the same fittings.

 

Most water cooled parts are made by 2 or 3 factories on China, so the fittings that I have are made by the same factories that make them for the big companies. The only drawback is that it takes about 4 - 5 weeks to receive them.

 

I also have a Bykski B-PMD3-X Pump that pushes 600L/h. This is a Laing DDC copy, but seems to be rock solid and very quite. I paid $35 USD for the pump, which is about 1/3 the cost of a "genuine" Laing, The pumps are also made by about 2 or 3 factories in China. 

 

You can find all of these on eBay or AliExpress.
