I would like to know if I could flip the fans so instead of intake itll be exhaust because I want more intake than exhaust fans.. Thanks!

P.S. I cant google this thing and its disturbing me. I'm gonna build my 1st PC this Weekend so im prepping.. :)

Thanks for those who will contribute and help me

Yes, either way you flip them is up to you but where are you putting this exhaust at instead of the intake because that does make a difference.

Hot air rises faster than cold air so my fan setting would be

INTAKE : Front, Side, Bottom
EXHAUST : Top and Back

It also makes a difference how your big your graphics card is though, and also how your motherboard sits, cords ect. If you can tell me what kind of graphics card you have i could maybe approve it better?

I think for now your system would be fine like that :), but once you get a gpu, if it's a decent length (enough to block air flow on one side, which most are), then you are going to want a exhaust at the bottom, that way all the air trapped below the gpu has somewhere to go.
