Would I be able to install  a Corsair H80i on the front intake on my Corsair 200R in place of the front intake fan for the cpu?

The H80 is for CPUs not, GPUs.

 

Would I be able to install  a Corsair H80i on the front intake on my Corsair 200R in place of the front intake fan for the gpu?

If you remove the hard drive bays, I suppose you could, but that would be feeding your GPU warm air. It will get your GPU a bit hotter, assuming you have clearance for this.

also, why not just put it as an exhaust? I can't imagine you not having somewhere else to mount this other than inconveniently in the front.

Don't buy an H80i, they have mounting problems and they don't perform as well as an equally price air cooler.

 

Get a Cooler Master Seidon 240M on Newegg for $60.  Just wait for it to go on sale.

So should I mount this at the top of my case? I just worried about the headroom. A Corsair H100i would have been my first choice if it could fit at the top.

Again, the Corsair H100i is not a good choice of AIO because it doesn't seem to work for everyone--mounting problems.  I think you will have to mount it at the top of your case because the hoses are not very long.
