Well you're going to run in to some very tight fits in general with that case. The case will accept a 120mm rad water cooler so in theory the H55 or X31 should fit. However the spot you install it is right above the motherboard so it's kind of a crap shoot. The H55 rad is 27mm thick, the X31 is 30mm. So the X31 is slightly thicker. However the H55 tubing is very stiff. So placement for the cooler is going to depend on how well the tubing can be adjusted around your components and if 3mm makes a difference in mounting it.
So to answer the question, it can fit according to some forum posts. But it's going to be a very tight fit with either cooler. The slightly thinner H55 may have a better chance but its hard to definitively say. I'd look at buying a different fan for the cooler either way. A slim 120mm fan should help the build considerably.
I would highly recommend you read through (or do searches for your hardware picks) this forum. It'd dedicated to the case you've picked out and may offer better insight than a general use forum like Toms.

Final thing, if you decide to go air cooling. Look at the Cryorig C7. Any low profile cooler is going to perform pretty badly for OCing, but it has a TDP of 100w which should fit the bill for your CPUs TDP of 91w running at stock.
Thanks for the advice! also i have a 4k monitor and im planning of playing some games like battlefield 1, forza horizon 3 and i learned that i can turn down the resolution and it runs smoother in call of duty modernwarrfare 4. Am i able to do this in every major game?
