Your motherboard seems to have 5 fan headers and 1 AIO pump header, depending on the number of fans you plan to put in you case you might need either a Y splitter or a fan hub.

As a start i will have the 3 fans that come with the case and 2 fans to the aio

From what I saw on your motherboard website you would have enough fan headers on your motherboard for all the 5 if you want to control them all with the motherboard

Would i be able to control them with some kind of software?

Possibly, for sure it is controllable in the BIOS where you will be able to adjust the fan curves, as for in system you would have to check.

Im bad at mobo so would the cables be able to connect to the fan header in terms of length?

 

I have seen that there is different markings like cpu fan, sys1 fan etc, where should i connect them?

The ones from the AIO would go on the cpu fan header, the ones from the case any sys fan would do. As for length that would depend on the length of the fan cables, but they usually have somewhat long cables.
