The RX240 is far too thick to fit at the top of the case on the inside. It's 58.5 mm thick and shown is an XSPC EX240, which is 30mm thick.

There is 4.5 cm of clearance between the front 120mm fan mounts and the drive cages, but again, this is too tight for the RX240 and I don't see how you could easily run tubes to the barbs. Only one of the drive bays can be removed and the mounting rail is riveted to the case. If you consider de-riveting and mounting your mechanical drive somewhere else (somehow, this is much easier with SSDs), you could easily put a thick rad at the front of this case.

But honestly, this is an air-cooling case and I suggest getting a different one, or at least a different cooling solution. The RX240 is gigantic.

Apparently the RX240 can be mounted without modification at the top of the inside of a Fractal Arc Midi and here's a similar setup to what you have planned. I would recommend this case.

Do you reckon it would fit this case? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
P.S. Thanks

Does anyone know if it will fit the Cooler Masters HAF x Case?

It should fit if you don't do push-pull with fans, but the HAF series is intended for air cooling. 200mm fans belong at the top, not 120mm. I still suggest a different case because you probably don't need to spend that much and a full-tower is likely unnecessary.

What do you want a water loop for in the first place? What are your specs?
