So im thinking about buying the Antec Kühler H2O 650, but im not sure it'll fit inside my case. So my question is... Is it possible that the block is on top of the cpu like normal, but then put the hoses through the rear holes and screw the rad+fan outside the case? Im pretty sure the cooler would otherwise fit inside the case, but im afraid that the hoses/tubing is too long, that it will lie on top of the gpu, or interfere with the sidepanel etc.
Im not sure did it even make sense, im really new to building computers.

Picture of the cooler


Picture of the case (marked the holes, where the tubing would come from)

You can't put those tubes through the holes. That is a closed-loop cooler therefore the tubes can't be removed in order for you to put them through the holes. The radiator will fit on the inside of your case just fine and the tubes won't touch your GPU because the tubes aren't very long.

Okay, thanks for your quick reply. Could you take a look, if i send you a picture of my setup, if it'll surely fit?
