Since I am building my first PC, I need help with evaluation. The problem is finding a small enough case that fits a dual-fan water cooler (CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme), it can be replaced and it has these dimensions:

Radiator dimensions: 276mm x 125mm x 30mm components can be switched.
Fan dimensions: 120mm x 120mm x 25mm

My choice so far is COOLERMASTER MasterBox Q300P which is 450 x 230 x 450 but I still have no idea if it fits or not (sorry for cringe if it doesn't). Neither do I know if the GPU and the power supply can fit. I already own the GPU but other

The rest of the build is:

-MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X (279 x 140 x 42 mm)
-CORSAIR 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4, 3600 MHz
-FORTRON Hydro G, 850W, modular (150x170x86 mm)
-INTEL Core i7 8700K
-SSD disk 256 GB, SAMSUNG PM961, M.2 2280, PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe
-ASUS STRIX Z370-G GAMING, mATX
-HDD 3 TB, TOSHIBA DT01ACA300, 3.5", 7200 rpm, SATA III

My goal is simply a gaming/productivity PC in an ITX or an mATX case. Thank you in advance for helping me.

What refresh rate will you be playing at? What is your budget?

I can already correct a few things in this build:

First, ditch that PSU. From what I can tell, it is QUITE overpriced/not of the highest quality. Not to mention, you won't need ANYWHERE near 850W for that rig. Second, go for a WD Blue M.2 Drive. It's a bit cheaper and still is of good quality.

Finally, swap out that RAM. There's no reason to go for 3600Mhz, especially if you're on team blue. A 3000Mhz kit will do just fine. Also, I swapped the tower/board out, I think the case is a bit better than the one you were looking at, but to answer your question, everything SHOULD fit just fine in the case you had specced out.

Here's the final build (counting the GPU in the price):

Here's the problem, I live in a european country that has high import fees. It's not worth the price which I won't have decent warranty with.

I should mention that I prefer ASUS motherboards for multi-core enhancement by default since I have no idea how to even open it. I do plan to oc to 4.5ghz when I manage to work it though.

Amazon is pretty much out of question, and the stores here have very, very limited selection of hardware.

If you could bother to page translate or sth, here are the store links of shops I can use:
