It does appear that you don't have much space at the top of that particular case. What specific AIO are you considering?

I would not advise a aio cooler for your situation.
AM3 motherboards are notorious for lacking vrm cooling. You need all the airflow over the motherboard than you can get.

What is your current cooler?
What is your budget?
Measure the height available for a tower type air cooler.
If you have 160mm available, you have a wide variety of coolers available that are going to be as effective as 240 size aio coolers. And, they will cost less.
Something with at least a 120mm fan might be reasonable.

The time to ask for advice is BEFORE you buy.

The air cooler you have is quite decent.
What aio did you buy?

As an experiment, take the side covers off and direct a house fan at the innards.
If that makes a difference look first to case cooling solutions.
