Does the H60 fit in the Core 3000?

Just ordered an FX8320 and I was thinking that it might like to be cooled by something a bit more capable than whatever they ship it with. Also, since I will be moving the rig around at least a couple of times a year, I would love to go the H60 way since air coolers might cause some issues during shipping. So, does the H60 fit in the Fractal Design Core 3000? And if not, are there any AIO coolers that would? I am assuming that any of these, if they fit in my case, would do a good job at cooling the 8320 @ 8350 clocks, right? Cheers for any answers.
 
I think you'd get away with the H60 on the rear 120mm fan mounting on the core 3000 but the roof mounts look recessed and the rad would foul it I think.
From the stock images on the Fractal site the rear seems to have plenty of space for a rad & fan.
 
dont think that H60 will keep temps decent if you plan on overclocking it. but it should fit your case.
 
I plan on leaving it on stock volts, and see how far it goes. I suppose it won't get too hot, in any case, if temps go past 65, I'll dial it down a couple of notches and leave it there.
