The Fractal Design Arc XL comes with 3 fans, 1 in the front, top, and rear. I want to add 2 more and add them to the front and top. I was thinking the logical thing to do would be 2 intake and 3 exhaust, intake being in the front and exhaust being the top and rear. Is this a good idea for cooling my overclocked components?

I'd say 3 intakes and 2 exhausts are the better way to do it...Maybe you can do this...2 on front,i on the side(Intakes) and 1 each on the rear and top(Exhausts)....

I'm so sorry I didn't notice that. Well, I wonder how you cool your VGA. That's the front fan's duty I assume. Anyway,if I'm reading it right here, there's a bottom fan option. So you could use that for the intake. So in total,3 intakes and 2 exhausts.

That will be fine,but I'd suggesting putting one fan on the bottom instead of two on front, if you have enough space for airflow beneath your case. That'll do good I guess. 2 on front is not at all necessary.
