2 back of case intake (h55 water cooler) push air from outside in pull in with other fan

And 2 exhaust fans mounted up top

For a total of 6 fan 4 intake and 2 exhausts is this ok?

Hope you guys can understand my little diagram lol if you see another idea to improve air flow please tell me thanks. I will be adding a card in sli and i want to make sure ill be ok with air flow here are my specs.

MOBO: Asus Sabertooth 990fx
CPU: FX-8320 (clocked at 4.2)
COOLER: Corsair H55 water cooler
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 2gb (SC)
PSU: Corsair 750watt gold

If your temps are ok, then do nothing.

Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.

My take is to have all your intakes in front or bottom, and exhausts at the top or rear.

I would omit side fans, they just disrupt the airflow.
If your intakes
are stronger than the exhaust, then you will have a positive pressure situation.
If your intakes are filtered, that will keep your case more free from dust.
