There are two pumps:
1. D5
2. DDC
the branding is mostly not important as most of them made by Lowara.
I use the D5 because it's quieter. DDC is more compact.
If I were to buy res today, I'd go for the Singularity Computers top and res.

yes you need a pump, a top and a res.
some of them sold in combinations.
the differences between tops and reservoirs from different brands include, but not limited to, performance, endurance, convenience, versatility, all sorts of visual features.
I'd pick the Singularity Computers one despite the price, mostly because it looks good, great performer, excellent convenience with huge amount of ports and very well thought mounting options. it's the only one I know that allows both direct attached and separate top with res configurations.

Most D5 are the same PWM or manual controlled.
there are exceptions like Aquacomputer that add some cool things. BTW strongly recommend to look at their CPU blocks and controllers. They are kinda rolls royce of liquid cooling. Alphacool makes a D5 that has both PWM and manual speed control. Some brands offer sleeved cables - you can do it yourself.
but performance wise, all 12V D5 are the same. When looking for D5 get the one that powered by SATA connector if you can.
Going Singularity Computers, you need following:
1. Pump motor - starting at 60$
2. pump top - any color of those https://www.singularitycomputers.com/shop/watercooling/protium-d5-pump-top-frosted-acrylic/
2.1 you need some way to mount the top. some pumps come with retention ring , some does not. a bit ugly https://www.singularitycomputers.com/shop/watercooling/d5-stock-retention-ring/
a better way is to use something like this https://www.singularitycomputers.com/shop/watercooling/protium-d5-pump-cover-silver/
though you don't have to pay that much. I personally use those https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Barrow-D5-MCP655-Series-Pumps-Dedicated-Conversion-Kit-D5-Modified-Metal-Cover-for-Cool-Water-Cooling/32854346936.html
3. protium res - your choice of size and color
4. Mounting depending on the res size and where (and how) you want to mount the res
And again, the 275R is far from best for the liquid cooling. You are going to spend over 300$ on a loop. at least put the system in appropriate case.
