How should I organize my fan ventilation in my case, I use my computer to game. The fans are basically all the same. I just don't know which way they should blow.
Here are the links to the pictures of my case and the fans available, I even labeled them with numbers so you can reference them when responding, or you can mark them yourself using paint and reupload them online. By the way, Fans 1,4,5, and 7 (The GPU, PSU , CPU, and one fan that came with the case) I can't really change, so I need to work with the others. For the possible fans that you will see I have two available.

Front and bottom should be intake, and rear and top should be exhaust. The side panel is the wild card. They could be either depending on your setup. Make sure you have at least decent cable management, and the tower is sitting on a hard flat surface.

Yes. My system gets very hot, as the place I live in is pretty hot. My computer overheats during winter when I play a game on ultra, and it would overheat with no game on during really hot days.
