Will require mods to the case no matter what you do fella, just for the CPU you will really need a 240mm rad kit if you want to overclock.

And you have the clearance to get two fans on a decent rad as well?

Thats usually the issue more than the length.

 

[LavisnaWoW]

clearance for fans?

Think how thick a rad is, add on the thickness of fans and then think how much space you have at the top of the case.
