Hello,
I am building a PC for myself and with my budget, I decided to go for the Masterbox Q300L (I know it is not the best case) and a CPU cooler Seidon 240v (both from Cooler Master). So my question is, will the radiator reach the front of the case, as I can't attach it to the back?

Also, give me your opinion on the build I have made (any improvements you could advise?)

EDIT
I could also get the MasterLiquid Lite 120. I understand that this will fit for sure?

I also just stumbled upon @a case Thermaltake Versa H17. Would this support Seidon 240v or MasterLiquid Lite 120?

Yes, the 240mm Rad will reach/fit at the front of the Q300L.

The build itself, is solid enough.

The 8600K is a little wasted on a B360 board. Opting for a Z370/Z390 would allow you to overclock OR, look to an i5-8400, i5-8500 or i5-8600

Dual Channel (2x8GB) will be more beneficial than a single 16GB module.

While the PurePower10 is a solid enough PSU, the 400W variant is cutting it a little close if you want to go the OCing route.

The monitor supports FreeSync, so an RX580 would probably be a better choice - take advantage of the variable refresh rate tech. Not a requirement, but if you have a FreeSync display, it would be a shame not to use it (IMO.


I'd make some revisions, more like this:

Quieter AIO, Z370 board, dual channel memory, larger monitor w/ an RX580 and a better suited PSU.
Also switched to an M.2 SSD - still SATA based, but no cables required, just connect it directly to the MB.
