Going to water cool, would it be a good deal to buy this to start out?

Not so much because the radiators look like they are the aluminum radiators, you have to make sure you use the proper fluid to prevent corrosion if you do have plans on getting it though. 

 

The two best things there are probably the pump which is decent and the Ek reservoir.

SO would distilled water not work?

No it would be a bad idea especially if you have a copper waterblock it would cause galvanic corrosion you would need the proper fluid which are formulated for dissimilar metals.

ok.

 

I believe the Mayhems X1 is made for dissimialr loops but you may need to ask them to make sure if you were interested in doing a loop with different metals.

not for more than $40. the reservoir and fittings are all that is "trustworthy" for sale.

radiators are questionable on material, condition and look high FPI so high rpm

fans would be the best to make the system cool properly, but not quietly. those

pumps are fine (if functional) for a CPU only loop. $40 would be top-dollar offer.
