In terms of water-cooling support, it looks about as capable as your standard full-tower. 240mm rad at the top, 120mm at the back and another 240mm on the front if your willing to lose the drive cages.

As for whether it will fit what you want, that depends on what you want. A CPU loop would be fine as you dont need more than 240mm of rad space, if you want that 780 under water you will have to get creative where you place your rads (hint: external mounting).

Yeah I want the cpu and the graphics card under water. So the case will be ok if I take out the drive case? Will I not need the drive case tho? This is so complicated but am willing to learn as its really interesting :) whate the best water cooling brand to order in the uk?

The case would be OK if you took out the drive cages, and could find some other arrangement for your drives (backside of the mobo or 5.25" bays is common, maybe a NAS with an SSD boot drive stuck somewhere in the case).

All the water-cooling brands are good, ones that are bad dont tend to last long in this kind of field.

Thermaltake has hung around for quite a while...that's ONE brand I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. (Notorious for using aluminium radiators and other components like fittings)

I've also seen a lot of European watercooling brands that do the same, although I'm one to strongly stick with copper and brass.
