Rad Suggestions and Thicknesses for Tt Core V21

In a complete overhaul of my plans on other threads i'm considering a custom water cooling loop in this case.

 

The amount of places you can put the rads in this thing are just staggering, yet it doesn't mention the max thicknesses of the radiators, especially the one on the front. And a very quick Google search hasn't yielded any useful info. Does anyone happen to know the clearance of these slots, or has the case and can gain a greater insight.

 

Additionally, I intend to mount the board horizontally, so I am open to suggestions on the best rad spots to use to water cool a CPU and 2 GTX 970s. (only 1 at first, the second will come later). First impressions say the top on the side the cards aren't on with a 240mm or 280mm would work, but how thick would this rad need to be, and would it need to be push/pull.
