Hi everyone, thanks for reading.

First Time posting here so apologies for any mistakes made.
I am planning to build a PC soon, I have chosen all the parts. I'm just concerned about which fans to place where and in which direction to point it. I've never built a pc, getting some friends to help but I want more expert advice.

Details
Case: NZXT Phantom 820
Fans: 2x Corsair SP140L (Blue LED)
2x Corsair SP140 (Included with Corsair H110i GT 280mm AIO Watercooling)
1x NZXT 140mm Fan
3x NZXT 200mm Fans

Location
Under Desk in a very Large room (5x8m) (No obstruction (Hardwood floor))
Room Temperature in Summer Max 30 degrees Celsius
Room Temperatue in Winter Min 15 degrees Celsius

In the Image below I have shown where I intend to place the fans currently

Areas of concern
I intend to keep Positive Air Pressure Inside the case when turned on
I am concerned that the current set-up imposes too much Pressure on the Static Pressure Exhaust Fan (Sorry If I sound Dumb, I'm only 16)
I would like for the case to have free flowing air, with minimum turbulence and dead spots.

Should I change any of the direction of the fans (shown in link)? I believe ideally the 200mm Fan on the top should also be an exhaust, however wont this oppose the cooler? Isn't bad to pull hot air through the radiator?

Thank You for helping me out,
please refer to the fan in question with the number eg 1. or 4. (as shown in Black text next to each fan)

Thank you for your time and I hope this helps others with the same issue.

Thank You Sav4, if the top fans are exhaust wouldn't that affect the performance of the Watercooling at the top? I don't know whether I would be correct in saying that it will pull warmer air through the radiator.
 
Only marginal if if you have it exh it removes the heat out of the case.
Is your gpu reference cooler ?
The gpu is what dumps most the heat inside that is why the side fan orientation is important to .
 


Hi Sav4, ok understood, also the GPU is an EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 . Furthermore this config will keep a positive air pressure right?
