You should have 2 more, one more at the front for pulling air in, and one more at top for pushing air out, but, it's personal preference

i suggest you fill them all cause you will be using an AMD GPU and also change the stock cooler to aftermarket fans if possible for optimal airflow.(in this way, your PC will be more likely healthy):p 

front & side intake and rear to dump air

there are great aftermarket fans such as the Corsair AF series, Cooler Master Jetflo & "Noctua" if you are willing to sacrafice the looks
& if you think these are high priced, you can choose lower priced fans. :D

All right raven007 I will use one extra cooler master jetflo. I would use my system in an AC room so i guess this much will be enough.......................
