Is it possible to fit the corsair h100i anywhere in the bitfenix phenom matx case. i would prefer not to mod the case much and not have it be external or take way from the aesthetics of the case. please leave a straight forward answer yes or no and where in the case it will fit, if it does.

this is the system i plan to put in it

Straightforward answer - no.
It is 240mm rad compatible, but not with an SLI setup. There are also potential conflicts with an ODD. It's possible you could top-mount, but it'd be very messy, inefficient, and you still might not be able to do push-pull.

If you want to run a setup like this, you are better off with a Corsair 350D or Fractal Design Arc Mini. If you want something fairly Bitfenix-y, then the Aerocool DS should fit the stuff you need.

Yeah you should be able to fit that in, though it's still not going to be amazing. At the end of the day, the Bitfenix mATX cases are a bit of a bodge, and have some pretty rubbish characteristics because of it, and there isn't really a away to get around that. I'd be particularly hesitant about trying to do SLI in one because it more or less removes the option to have an optical disk (not a problem for you), and the provison for airflow to graphics cards is really lacking. Any compact SLI setup with non-reference cards is going to be fairly tricky as you will get awkward airflow, and I'm pretty confident the Phenom will exacerbate this.
If you do go with that sort of setup, this is roughly how it will look but you won't have the space between the graphics cards due to the motherboard you picked.

In addition to the cases I suggested first time, there's also the Silverstone SG09/10 which have 3 fans which basically blow right into the graphics cards which is likely to make it pretty great for compact SLI (though the reference design cards are probably still preferable).
