Help with case and radiators

Hey guys, I have decided I want to buy a new case to replace my  coolermaster storm stryker. The one I have in mind would be the NZXT H440 or the Razer edition of the case. My problem is working out how I could fit everything inside, Ideally I would like to have an XSPC RX 360mm Push/Pull configuration in the front. The problem is currently I have an XSPC RX 240mm and I was hoping to put this up the top, but I am not sure if it will fit due to my motherboard being the Asus V1 forumula with ROG armour which I think could get in the way. If so what alternate radiator would you recommend as I definitely want to run another radiator up there. I also have the XSPC D5 photon 270mm glass reservoir. Looking at its general dimensions I am unsure that it would fit vertically standing in the case so I was thinking of mounting it to the top of the power supply cover of the case and filling it up before the mount or something. But again I am unsure if this would fit between the graphics card. I know there are dimensions on the internet and mathematically I should be able to work it out, but I am having difficulty and would really appreciate the help of the forum.

 

Cheers,

idk what prob but can i have old case

Wow...

I think you'd be fine. You could always test fit when you get the case or look at other H440 builds. I wouldn't stress over push pull though as it makes almost no difference.

Perhaps just do Push or Pull?

 

It should all fit in there.

Yeah the reason for push/pull is i have a ton of fans that I bought i have like 9 green cougar green leds and various noctuas but yeah was hoping to roll with a full set of cougar green leds, i was hoping it would illuminate the case quite nicely

the problem with space that I am having would be at the top of the case for the radiator I only want to run it in push, but im not sure there is enough clearance for the rx 240mm + green cougar 120mm fans, and the ROG armour on my motherboard. With my current build it doesn't quite fit but just by a few mm.

Is it alright to mount my reservoir horizontal ? as long as I have water all through the pump before I turn it on? I was thinking about filling it up first then mounting it in, and just drilling some mount holes on the power supply cover of the case. btw thanks for the quick responses its really appreciated

What type of res is it? That would be extremely hard to fill and bleed. Also it would have to be very full.
