Short answer: yes

 

Almost all cases can fit a 120mm radiator but seeing as you have a full tower, why not get a 240, 280 or even 360 AIO?

What model Phantom case is it? I had one a while ago and it didn't need any bracket for radiators.

Well if you don't need a bracket to mount 2 120mm fans then you should be fine using a 240 radiator without one.

The brackets are needed to mount fans smaller than 200mm at the top of the original Phantom. 

 

@Jonshinki Have you tried contacting NZXT for replacement brackets?

If you're getting a new cooler and want recommendations, tell us what cpu and ram you're using, where you're shopping / located, and your budget.

It doesn't hurt to ask since it's a discontinued case and they probably have them lying around.

The H60 2018 would fit at the rear.

Did you mean i5 7600k or 7700k? Does the store you're shopping from have a store you can link us to?

Rear intake would be better for cpu temps whereas rear exhaust would be better for overall system temps. Take your pick.
