AIO to chose for this case

I'm planning to rebuild my gaming set and I have run into problems with choosing AIO

1st. Cooler Master Master MasterLiquid 240 (MLX-D24M-A20PW-R1) on top or front
2nd. Enermax Liqmax II 120 (ELC-LMR120S-BS)

I'm trying to decide which AIO would provide me with the best CPU cooling, as for cooler master I'm afraid that putting it on top would make it use hot air from the case. Placing it on the front would push hot air into case and my GPU could run hotter. On other hand having Enermax at back and 2x 140 fans on top might give me better results.
Could anyone advise me on this?

Case: Coguar Panzer S
CPU: 4690K
Mobo: MSI z97 gaming 3
GPU: MSI 1070 6GB Gaming

Between those two, I'm not going to side with the 120mm unit simply because you're misunderstanding the cooling potential of a single radiator and a dual radiator setup. I'd choose the 240 rad setup and have it setup in the front. Other than that you can go with an air cooling solution like a Cryorig H7 and be done with it...or go full custom level and have the radiator mounted outside of the case in the rear or the top and not worry about the heat being recycled in the system.

Might I ask where you're located and what sort of cooling options you have access to?
