Problems with first build

So I just started my first pc build and I spend a pretty hefty amount of cash on it going all out. I got a 

CPU:i9-9900K

GPU:EVGA UX RTX 2080 Ti

RAM:Corsair Vengeance 32GB 

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390 E Gaming 

PSU:850W Gold plus certified 

SSD:1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus 

HDD:3TB Hard Drive Seagate Barracuda 

CPU Cooler:Corsair H115I Pro Cooler

Case:Cooler Master MB530P

Now I had gotten all my parts and started the build everything was going well until I was installing the radiator to the top of the case my motherboard was in and boom my radiator won’t fit because of clearance issues with my ram and because of the io part and a decorative part on the motherboard. I had thought of a couple solutions. Return the Cooler get a different one but I couldn’t get a liquid cooler considering there is not enough room for any radiator. I also thought of maybe a new case. Now I have a case that was a pre built that I got to before I did my own build. The Trace 940 case from CyberPower which it looks like if I switched cases there could be enough room. I also don’t want to air cool it because well it’s an i9-9900K. One of the photos shows how little room I have and another photo shows the radiator without the fans and it barely fits.The third one is my other case and it looks like it has plenty of room for the radiator with no clearance issues. If you’re wondering why I took the cpu out too was because it would’ve been sitting there for awhile with nothing on it so I liked it better back in its case than just sitting there.So I’m asking for help on what I should. New Case? New Cooler? Switch Cases? Please help03AACCC9-BFA6-42EB-A0E1-3C7C32905510.thumb.jpeg.12a9382919b347a7817bd387fa1418b0.jpeg

Do you think I would run into clearance issues with my ram though? 

Possibly...I don’t know for sure. You would have to check how tall your ram is and see what the overhang would be on the NH-D15.

I got a ps5 and a pc pretty ballin

With my case it won’t work I thought of that.

That case supports a 280mm radiator in the front. The website says you have to mount the fans behind the front plate.

It doesn't seem to support a 280mm radiator in the roof anyway looking at that link.

So how would I go about mounting the radiator on the front do I still keep the fans there?

I could still instal the pre-installed ones elsewhere in the case like on the top instead?

Yes. So that case has 3 x 120mm RGB fans in the front and 1 x 120mm non RGB fan in the rear. 

 

So put two of them in the roof, and the other front RGB fan could replace the non RGB one at the rear if you want.

 

You might need a fan splitter or extension etc depending on how many headers you have on the board and where they are located.
