I have recently build a new computer from scratch. The computer spec wise that I own thus far is:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 74.3 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME EATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Video Card: GeForce GTX 650
Case: Inwin 707 BLACK ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM (64-bit)

So I have quite a few questions going from hardware I intend to purchase over the next year, and fan Push vs Pull placement. I don't generally mind spending money as long as the outcome is decently beneficial.

So hardware purchases I intend are:

Now when I am done the design for fan layout I am thinking will be as such: hope the image is clear enough!

Also any other opinions and ideas on the hardware choices, as well as where intakes and outakes are placed and in what direction, I am curious about, this is a very open ended question.

Thanks,

Your airflow is generally about right, except...
1) You have the wrong idea about the fans on the PSU and gfx card. They are intake fans not exhaust fans.
2) The bottom case fan I would have as intake, not exhaust.
3) CPU cooling may better if you brought fresh air into the radiator and used the rear fan as exhaust to remove the warmed air from the radiator.

But only experimentation will determine for sure.
