If you have the bottom and front of your case as intakes and the rear and top as exhaust then the air flow will run through your components, effectively cooling them. However, if you have one intake and one exhaust on the top then the air flow will exit the case before it has a chance to cool your components.

 

front intake,,bottom psu,,,side intake,,back and top exaust,, is ok?
