Define R5 water cooling?

Is this a good case to do a full water loop (graphics card(s) and CPU) in or should I go with something else?

Umm... yeah it's a great case. Looking at it currently for a build I'm prospecting for a friend and leaning very heavily toward going with it.

My build: Mira - Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB EVGA DDR4-3200, ASUS Prime X470-PRO, EVGA RTX 3070 XC3, beQuiet Dark Base 900, EVGA 1000 G6

I think you should get a larger case. Looks like you may have to give up some stuff if you want to mount rads everywhere. Btw i don't own a r5

The case can fit a triple 140 in the top and triple 140 in the front. Why would he need a larger case? Even going with a dual 140 and triple 140 is more surface area than two triple 120s and comes close to 7x120mm. The Define R5 is great for radiator capacity -- the main reason I'm going for it.
