I've decided to go with compression fittings for my WC setup. probably the SXPC Chrome ones.

The question I have is, how do I know how many elbow fittings I need? I really don't want to overbuy a bunch of fittings that I don't use. having trouble understanding how you guys just buy your fittings and put it all together. what kind of planning would I have to do?

well you need to draw a simple flow diagram of your components, so have your reservoir>pump>radiator>cpu and so on if your watercooling more, theres 2 connections on each so thats at least 8 fittings but the important thing to do is to plan ahead where each part is and what connection would be best, like would a 45 degree bend or a 90 degree bend be better or just a straight connector as this will determine the overall tidiness of the finish and how well it looks, in general i don't use 90 degree bends but every build is different so i know if your caught for space they would be needed
