I recently added my second evga gtx 770sc with "acx" cooling and I have noticed a temperature increase. My specs and a picture of my setup (my cable management has been improved since time of pictures): http://pcpartpicker.com/b/Vgbj4D

keep in mind I can buy as many case fans as necessary and my room is also quite dusty. Thanks
 
Solution
Add as many case fans as necessary.
Two hot video cards dumping their heat into the case will heat everything up.
Front . side and bottom as intakes, Top and rear as exhaust.
You have to get the heat out of the case as quickly as possible.
With filters on the intakes make them your highest CFM fans as the filters cut down airflow quite a bit.

well as of now there is only the stock fan in the front and it has no obstruction, if I added a second case fan under than yes, the cages would get in the way. And could you be more specific as to which exact mount because on my side panel, the top mount is obstructed by the cpu cooler.
