The NOCTUA d15 won't FIT!! Thanks lee32uk for pointing this out Someone please offer another CPU cooler suggestion for this GPU AIO+CPU Cooler combo? (*edit no price range for CPU Cooler)

So I recently undertook the task of building my first PC. I sorta went mad with researching every bit of info I could find (thus leading me here). Now I'm ready to click 'Buy' but have some questions about cooling my Lian Li OD-11 Dynamic. I know this case was built for liquid cooling loops, and that might be in the cards for me in the future, but now I want to keep it simple (while getting a little creative). The creativity extends from the Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 ti Xtreme Waterforce. This neat GPU would allow me to liquid cool the GPU unit, leaving me to do whatever with the CPU. My thought is to put a Noctua NH D15 on the CPU while the GPU liquid cools with its own AIO. I'm curious if y'all think this will work and how it will fare? I've read that the GPU causes hot air up through the CPU so I'm hoping this limits that and I can get a nice airflow dispersion just with some fans and the Noctua CPU fan cooler. I'd also love to hear your suggestions on how to mount the GPU's radiator? I'm wondering if I attach it to the top, will it work? Will it benefit with exhausting that hot air? Thanks for your time!
