Hello my English is not the best but I will try to explain best as possible. So I bought a new pc. I bought an Aoi for the front as an intake in my nzxt h510 case. However I realised that my gpu is really big ( I've got the rx 5700xt nitro) and if I place the aio in the front it will get really tight. So I thought maybe I can put the radiator behind the front bracket and the fans in front of it so only the radiator will be next to the gpu and I get more room. My question is, is there a problem with Airflow if I do it this way? Bc in the most builds in this case the radiator and the Fans are behind the bracket? 

I hope you can understand my problem.

Yes there will be airflow problems. The nzxt already doesn't have good airflow and mounting it like that makes it a lot worse. As long as the gpu doesn't touch the radiator it is fine.
