Well, you already have 2x the EK 350 PE radiators listed which are pretty decent.

Or you could take a look at radiators from Hardware Labs.

I've considered their 360 gtx rads. I know the front of this case can fit it, although I want to do a push pull configuration there and not sure if there's clearance so I was hoping someone who has experience with that rad or my case could provide a little enlightenment lol.

See page 12. Looks like there is plenty of room to do push pull on the front radiator.

If I were to go with a 320mm black ice GTR for the front, would my ML 120 fans be good enough to utilize the potential of the rad? At least until I could get some more screws to mount three more ML on the inner side for push/pull?

I use 1 Ml120 basic fan on my 60 mm thick EK radiator and still get decent airflow.

 

Admittedly i am in an open office so the noise floor is higher than a bedroom.

Yea it's in my basement and I've no concern about noise level as I can't hear anything outside of my headset. And my wife and kids sleep on the second floor so they can't hear anything either.

Yes that should be perfectly fine. I'm running an EK 360 PE and a 360 XE radiator with Thermaltake Riing fans in push config only cooling a i7-5820k + the VRM's on my motherboard and a GTX 1080. I can run my fans at such low speeds that they are barely audible and still maintain good temperatures.
