Watercooling noob help

[ePisode]

Hi,

I'm new to watercooling but it's something that I think is interesting and I wanted to go ahead and give it a go. As I'm completely new to this, I thought the best thing would be to get some guidance first. My setup at the moment is a:
- Case: Corsair 780T Graphite Case
- Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 LGA1150
- CPU: i7-4790k
- Graphics Card 1: MSI GTX 980 Ti 6G Twin Frozr
- Graphics Card 2: MSI GTX 980 Ti 6G Twin Frozr
- RAM: 32GB DDR3

I would like to know what components I need, including fitting sizes etc (because ARGH!) and I don't want to mess up the build. I can get a new case if advised as well.

At the top I currently have 3x 120mm AF fans and at the front 2x 140mm AF fans. 1 120mm AF fan at the bottom and 1 140mm at the back.

Regards,

eP
