What GPU are you using for this build?

For water cooling on ITX it is very difficult but not impossible, you will only be able to fit a 240mm rad in the case you have selected, the video they have shows the general water installation you can do, using a 240 rad, looks like a d5 model pump, and 100-120mm reservoir, in a case this small i would use 3/8-1/2 barb fittings just to use the smallest amount of space possible because it will be tight

sorry to tell you but a custom loop is gonna cost more than $300 AUD, mine cost me about $490 AUD just for the CPU
now to AIO's, I would recomend the h100i gtx for you, probably the best 240mm AIO, the kraken is a bit better (kraken x61) but it's a 280mm so idk if it will fit in your case

CPU -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/30873/ek-supremacy-mx-cpu-waterblock - 60
RES -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/23907/phobya-balancer-150-silver-nickel - 40
RAD -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/18731/xspc-ex240-radiator - 50
Pump -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/29667/phobya-dc12-400-12v-pwm-pump - 60
Tube ->https://www.pccasegear.com/products/25908/alphacool-alphatube-uv-red-3-8id-1-2od-3m - 15
Fittings straight -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/24925/phobya-3-8-hf-barbed-fitting-with-o-ring-g1-4-silver - 3x6=18
Fittings angled -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/24274/alphacool-3-8-barbed-fitting-90-degree-with-o-ring-chrome - 2x5 = 10
Coolant -> https://www.pccasegear.com/products/30944/ek-ekoolant-evo-blood-red-premix-1000ml-coolant - 25
Total = 60+40+50+60+18+10+25 = 263

You will also need the adapter they show in the video for mounting the pump and not sure how the res is mounted from the video, but its a starting point (assumed 2 angled fittings, one will be needed for the pump to direct up)
