From what I've seen so far PETG tubing is the choice. Fittings on the other hand ... ? Bit power has a lot however the web site is terrible. Any suggestions?

Bitspowers has some of the best regarded fittings, as long as the exact OD of the tubing matches the fittings they will be compatible.

If your building a loop from scratch EKWB has a good configurator for everything, as for pumps I would recommend to go with a D5. Fans and rads are mainly up to your choice but EKWB, Alphacool, and Hardwarelabs all have good options for rads.

I bought bitspower crystal link acrylic tube and bitspower hard line fittings last year. The tubes didnt clear the inner o ring no matter how much i filed down the edges of the tube. Tried using soap and all that jazz. Ended up buying EK fittings instead.

 

I eventually just bought new o rings for the bitspower fittings. They look better than the EK ones by a mile. But honestly why did i habw to buy my own o rings? Why didnt their customer suppirt reply to me?

 

Whatever, i bought Thermaltake rgb fittings now. 

 

 

Also buy a glass reservior. Looks a million times better than plexi or acrylic. Buy a long one too, you wont regret it. Pump res combo is optional imo.
