How many of what fittings

This is my first time water cooling and I will be using PETG tubing to do my build. I chose all my parts, except my radiators which I have some in mind, but I still need help finding fittings. What I want to know is what is the minimum required fittings (ie. fittings into the GPU and CPU and fittings into the reservoirs and pumps) for a water loop like mine (GPU Loop and CPU Loop). Any help would be appreciated :).

No way for us to know without your loop map. And since you are doing hardline you might use more than what we suggest because you might use them for bends.

You will require two per watercooling component, angled adapter fittings though will depend on the tubing routing and your setup.

I'm  going to assume that you have a seperate pump and reservoir, not a pump res combo.  if that is the case you will need at least, but maybe more,

 

CPU - 2

GPU - 2

RES - 2 

PUMP - 2

RAD - 2

 

Total of 10.  If you like RGB swagger, thermaltake has some hardline RGB fittings.  Other then that get monsoon, bitspower or barrow hard tubing.  Barrow actually sells a kit with tubing, fittings and an RGB block on ebay/ali express

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

What are the specific fittings called for each thing, is it called GPU fitting + "Blah Blah more info"

They are hardline compression fittings you will want to look for, here's an example, the tubing size and fitting size must be exact and match.
