Next build, have some questions

[Big Head Tech]

So I am heading to Microcenter on the 11th to make a big purchase.  It's complicated to explain but as many of you know I do YouTube and plan on doing an R5-1600 vs I5-7600K build review.  I currently have an R7-1700x that I will be giving to my fiance and taking over the 1600 as she does more video editing than I do.  I have a few questions.

 

I have an NZXT kraken x60 cooler and have a bracket coming, what case Blk/Red supports a top mounted 280MM AIO?

How are the NZXT Hue RGB Fans vs the Corsair SP120 RGB?

 

For those that are curious these are all the parts I have and will be purchasing (The I5 build will sold after testing is done)

 

What I have

R7-1700x (going to fiance)

4x8GB Gskill Tridentz 3200MHz Ram (Keepings 16GB, selling the other 16GB with the I5 build)

Asus X370 Pro Motherboard (selling as we speak)

She has an S340 atm lol. I really hate the look of front mounted radiators unless it's a custom loop.  I was considering the H440 but that thing is YUGE.

Side note, The I5-7600k/RGTX 1070 (her current card) build should sell for like $1100-1300 and her old build should pull $900 (with the RX480)
