Is this S340 appropriate for this build

Would the NZXT S340 be appropriate for a Sapphire R9 290 and a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo cpu cooler? I am worried about airflow and CPU temps as there is only room for only one fan at the top of the case. Would like to keep my temps below 75 c. What do you guys think? Thanks.
 
I have the case in question, and though the airflow is worse than in my previous care (Fractal Arc Midi) it is quite ok.
My teperatures are as follows:
i5 2500K at 4Ghz cooled by Hyper Evo 212: 33 idle, 58 load
Zotac GTX 970 never goes above 82 degrees
four SSD's are all at around 30 degrees

Be aware though, that if you have traditional spinning harddisks, they will be quite audible as there are no rubber suspension on the disk trays.

It's a slick and nice looking case though.
 



Hmm, 970s usually run a lot cooler than 390s so I might pass on the case if your GPU is running at those temps- what's your fan set up like?
 
Those 82 degrees on the graphics card is during furmark stresstest. Regular full load temps are around 65-75.

I have two fans installed in the case one in the top and one in the back of the case, both blowing out so I run with a negative air pressure setup.
