Changing from Haf-X to something more suited to w/c

I would like another pair of eyes to look at this, if possible. My current set up is as follows.

Case: Hax-X
CPU- 2500K cooled by H100 in roof.
GPU - 690 cooled by XSPC waterblock, with hose going outside of case to an RX 360 then back inside to a XSPC d5 dual bay res.
One optical DVD writer
3 hard drives
1 Vertex 3 SSD
PSU - HX1050

For a long time now I've wanted to step up to a proper build with the radiators inside the case. Originally I wanted to use the Phanteks Enthoo primo but it seemed like overkill for one card and one CPU.

After watching TTL's vids on the Corsair 750D, Switch 810, and the Switch 810 special edition gun metal I think I'd like to go down 810 route and go for the gun metal black. So I'm thinking...

- RX360 in the roof with push gentle typhoons.
- Dual Bay res in top.
- Will that leave enough room for the optical drive?
- XSPC Raystom for the CPU
- Put an RX240 in push in the base with HX1050 which at 180mm should be just about ok according to TTL's original 810 white review.

I can fit the 3 hard drives in the drive cage that hangs underneath the optical drive cages but I won't have anywhere to put the SSD. Any ideas?

Other than that I can't envisage any problems. The only thing I'm a little worried about is going from straight barbs and clamps to compression fittings, because I don't see how you can get them tight enough without using some mole grips.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same question as above. About that SSD, just shove it in the back, if there is no place. Its perfectly safe any many people do it.
