Question is will everything fit into place with this set up? 

PCPP will generally tell you if everything will fit or not if you add the case to the list

You bought 3 120mm and 3 140mm LL's..... The 3 140's will have to go at the front for intake and the 3 120mm's will have to go on top paired with the 360mm rad for exhaust. The rear included 120mm fan will have to be left as is. 

 

You cant install the 140mm fans on the 360 rad as they wont fit. If you mount the RAD to the front, you can only mount two of the 140mm fans to the top, and you cant mount a 140mm to the back, meaning one 140mm fan goes to waste. The side mount is legitimately unusable as there are no vents on the rear sidde panel to intake or exhasut air (This frame seems to be used a lot and there are versions where rear side panels do have vents) so for the S500, dismiss side panel fan mounts entirely.

I originally wanted the Phanteks Evolv X or Phanteks Enthoo Pro but Ukraine didn't have any of those options so I went with the Thermaltake S500 (it caught my eye due to the power supply showing and being able to put the 360mm rad on the top. 

 

Question is will everything fit into place with this set up? 

 (Please don't comment recommendations for anything cuz I already bought it all and waiting for the case 2 ship)
