Will a 240mm Rad and 120mm fit in my case?

Im going to build a custom watercooling loop but im not sure if a 240mm Rad on the top and a 120mm in the back would work

120mm Rad:https://www.caseking.de/magicool-copper-radiator-i-120-mm-wara-089.html

240mm Rad: https://www.caseking.de/ek-water-blocks-ek-coolstream-pe-240-schwarz-waek-787.html

or even better , would it work if i put a 360mm/280mm Rad in the top.

Best I can tell, no, not unless you cut the top of your case out. I did that years ago, but an $80 air cooler comes very close to the cooling performance you can get out of a $350 custom loop. I eventually sold my custom loop and got a nice air cooler.

Nope, it would not. At least without serious modding.
The EK will fit on top, but then I'm not sure there will be enough space for the 120 rad at rear.
Since you are building a custom loop, for CPU only 240mm will be more than enough. This EK radiator has high heat dissipation ability.
Since it's thicker than usual, you can even use it for CPU and GPU (up to 200w for sure).
I'd recommend a different case for water cooling, something like Fractal Design Define S.

Well, you can mount a 240mm radiator at the top.
And while you couldn't fit one in the back with the 240 there, you apparently have 120mm side panel that you could attached a radiator to, though that will make opening and closing the case as hassle as to open the case fully you'd have to dismount the radiator.
Maybe just 2 120 mm radiators on the top?
