So i am building a new pc more for gaming and i want to see if the way i am placing the fans would be good here are the specs
GPU: 2 Xfx HD 7950 Black Edition Cross-Fire
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz
PSU: CORSAIR RM Series RM1000w
Mobo: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Case: Corsair 500r Carbide Series Arctic White
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series h100i
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB)
So The case have a 240mm fan on the side 2 120mm on the front and those fans are bringing air into the case and there is 1 120mm for air to go out the back and i dont know if this matters but the GPUS have 2 fans on each of them and i am going to install a h 100i i was going to put it so it pulls air through the rad into the case so the fans are on the bottom but i am not to sure if that would be good because i only have 1 fan pulling air out of the case any ideas on how i should place them or is this ok.
P.S. Sorry for the lack of punctuation just a quick post <3
thanks for the help.

If you have more intake then exhaust that will be fine. If it was the other way round then it would suck dust in through every crack in the chassis.
Ideally you'd want to balance it out as much as possible, but you can see what works when you have the system.
