450D looks good, but i heard there were problems with the motherboard being too close to the radiator, causing some to be incompatible.

Get a Phanteks Enthoo Pro. That case will show the fans in the front, and supports a triple 120 rad on the top or dual 140.

Assuming that you are referring to the top part of the case, you shouldn't run in to that kind of fitment issue if you are using 30mm thick rad. Anything thicker than that may post some compatibility issue, but can be easily avoided by taking the MB's layout into account and make sure that it doesn't have one of those tall heatsinks on the upper part of the board.
