Help me configure my case fans and AIO!

I am about to embark on my first ever PC build! I think i did a good job selecting parts and such, but I hit a snag with me AIO and case. My case only has 240mm capability in the front. However, my case has two RGB fans in the front, and one fan in the back. I am hoping you guys can help me decide:

 

1. WHERE to put the fans

2. How to configure them (pushing or pulling)

 

I think I HAVE TO take the case RGB fans off the front in order to install my AIO fans there, but I am honestly unsure. All help is much appreciated!

If the case rgb fans are the same size as your aio you could mount the case fans to the cooler.

They are the same. Are you suggesting setting up a push/pull in the front with the AIO fans and case fans sharing a radiator?

Yeah, that way you keep the rgb flare.

Then keep the back fan and it should be good.

Isn't it a bad idea for me to have no fans at the top though?

Hot air naturally rises, but if you aee conserned have the radiator at push and add the other 2 fans to the top.

Do they both need a radiator or can they share one?
