I am creating a new water-cooled build with these parts:

As I am completetly new to watercooling, can you pleasehelp me with the fittings parts and fittings I will need. By the way, the GPU is at the bottom under a custom part as it is not yet added to pcpartpicker

860w is pretty overkill for this. 650w is plenty and 750w if you plan to SLI, but adding another GPU to a custom loop is a pain. Also, what is going the be the purpose of this build? Rendering and encoding?

Make a thread here for water cooling help:

you will need a pump, reservoir and a radiator with fans. Water cooling fittings are pretty easy to find. They are threaded and just screw into place. if you want to do the cpu also you need a cooling block for that.

As I am planning to get up to around three way SLI, the PSU is the right one. The build is going to be for gaming, but mostly video editing and rendering

You listed a gtx780 as your video card. You aren't going to run three of those on an 860 watt PSU.
My 2 suggestions are:
1. read one of the many guides here and elsewhere intros to water cooling. We obviously can't write you an entire article, and picking parts for you won't be very helpful since you won't know what they are anyway.
2. Plan the whole thing out first. You seemed to imply you intend to sort of build as you go; this is a recipe for wasting a lot of money when you watercool.
