thats my build im going to change the fans for ones with leds and i was wondering wich size should i go for the front 2x 140mm or 2x120mm, top 1x 140mm or 120mm, rear 120mm ~?
Im not sure if i can put this 120mm radiator in the top of this case, if i cant ill put it in front

I never recommend using a radiator as intake. What a liquid cooler does is it transfers heat from the CPU to the waterblock, which transfers the heat to the coolant, which carries the heat to the radiator, which disperses the heat into the air that's being blown through. If you use a radiator as intake, it just blows all that heat right back over your components.

I like your choice of case.

I would put 2x 140mm on the front as intake, 1x 140mm on the top as exhaust, and put the radiator on the rear as exhaust. You may not have enough room above the motherboard to mount the radiator up top, so I suggest putting it on the back.
