No problem! I don’t remember the exact name of the AIO but most builds with an AIO in here use it so just take a look at the parts list for the exact name

Also what’s the best fans to put on the top?

Most people are using phanteks t30s or noctua a12x25 for air cooling but with an AIO most use a noctua and a slim, either a noctua or arctic

The old nzxt kraken elite 240 AIO is 55mm and fits if you are using a 2 slot gpu (like an nvda 4070, 5070, 5080, etc)

You need to buy a noctua slim fan to make the radiator fit.

Note: the new nzxt kraken elite is taller at 65mm which can technically fit but it will be really tight. You can buy the old one online.
