Will a 280mm cooler fit on top of a coolermaster h500?

Will I need to remove both 2 x 200mm  fans on the  h500 to install an evga 280mm cooler, or could I mount the 280mm cooler on the top? I  looked at the specs of the case and it says the 280mm cooler can fit in front but I dont want to remove the pretty fans to do it. I have a 3900x in an itx system and I have been wanting to put it in a larger case.

I think you can run the 200s on the outside with the 140s on the inside. 

Balancing air flow through the rad might be weird but it will be fine.
