Fluid won't cause issues or the res itself since that's acrylic (I think), but if you change the blocks, fittings, pump, etc. then there will be issues.

 

Edit:

What are you looking to replace them with?

The res and fluid can be changed but make sure there is no other metals in the new res. As said blocks and rads cannot be swapped for other metals they must all be aluminum, EKWB have mentioned they will come out with options such as Al rads later on.

The res is part of the pump if I remember correctly, so can't be easily changed, as the pump is a special one designed to work with the aluminium system, and the same goes with the fluid, it has specially designed corrosion inhibitors in it to stop the slight corrosion that would happen, this is how they've eliminated galvanic corrosion as there is only one type of aluminium alloy, so the fluid only has to stop the slight corrosion that happens by itself. Really the fluid gaming series if not designed to changed in many ways I'm afraid, since to avoid corrosion the loop has to be very very well controlled. 

Yours faithfully
