Currently planning an air-cooled 760t build and I just wanted to ask a question about airflow. So I'd be running an OC'ed i7 4770k which is being cooled by Phanteks PH-TC14PE (twin tower cooler facing the back of the case) and the idea I have for airflow is this. Front would be intake and top would be intake and the back would be exhaust as well as the PSU. Now my question is would it be worth having top fans intaking air with the top cover on (want to keep it on cause the cover keeps the overall sleek look which is why I'm buying the case in the first place). Please give your opinions even if it's saying that my idea for airflow is flawed in the first place and thanks for all the help.

No, top needs to be exhaust always. Heat rises.

No, make front intake and you also have a space for a bottom intake fan in front of the PSU. and make back exhaust and top exhaust.

So I was a little confused about something. Thought GPUs exhausted air into the case as opposed to out of it, I'm under the assumption that the Asus GTX 780ti DCUII would do the same correct? Draw air over the PCB and GPU core and force the air out the back of the card?

Not exactly, The cards kind of just blow the air everywhere inside the case. Only blower cards exhaust it all out the back. This is why you need the top fans to be exhaust.

EVGAs Titan coolers have intake fans, and force the air out of the back. Usually all dual fan coolers blow air out into the case
