You should be fine, does the case come with a dust filter on the bottom? Btw your case is great for entry level budget gaming so nice choice, your gfx is all good. Hope i helped if so click me as best solution. :,D

Well for air flow and cooling in a case your mostly going to want negative pressure, meaning you want more exhaust fans than intake that way you can get rid of the heat faster and bring cool new air into you case. Since heat rises your going to want your exhaust fans on the top and back of your case and intake fans in the front and bottom, Thats PC cooling in a nutshell, hope I helped! -CJ

my bottom fan is acting as an intake.
problem is the fan is blowing directly at the gfx.
will dust be collected here?
additional info: the bottom fan is blowing parallel to my gfx fan
