Hello all. I'm purchasing a used but almost new Corsair 800D tomorrow with nexus fan controller 
First here are my specs
3770k @ 4.5Ghz for now
16gb corsair dominator
Maximus V Extreme
EVGA Nova 1500 watt
250GB Crucial SSD
600GB Raptor 10k
Asus BD/RW DVD/RW
GTX 670 (x2 SLI)
Problem is I have a 240mm and 120mm double thick Rad. with swiftech block and X5PC Res/Pump combo for all this GPU's+CPU and GPU temp stays under 60c but CPU can hit 75c in BF3! Summer is coming too! Would like not to see over 65c or so on CPU.
I have the following W.C. Parts
*X5PC Dual Bay Res./Pump Combo
*120mmDouble thick Rad.
Two 360mm Rads
*240mm Rad
Swiftech mini Res.
*Swiftech Apogee II CPU Block
Swiftech Water pump...556? or something of the sort
*Two EK Water blocks one for each GTX670
*In use now*
Was planning on doing the video cards with the 556 pump and mini res and the CPU on the CPU Bock/pump res/pump combo. something like top 360mm rad with the CPU and a separate loop with the 240mm and 120mm on the video cards.
This would require the rear fan spot to be occupied by 120mm rad, the bottom HDD bays to be taken out for the 240mm rad mod and the normal 360mm on top..So that leaves no airflow that isn't through a rad! is that bad? what should I do? thought about placing a 200mm fan on the side but that would defeat the purpose of the big window to see all the pretty stuff lol.
What fans should be intake? exaust? is there a place to use two 360mm and call it a day? or is my layout good?
Is there a better case out there for this?
I am paying this guy $200 for it...used...like new..all parts included and he is giving me his nexus digital fan controller.
Thought about getting this:

But for $50 more I get a used case that costs more? No matter what I will have to mod I just wanna do whats best.
