I have only one 120mm fan in the front for intake and 4 more fan installation space (TOP, REAR, BOTTOM and SIDE PANEL). Now can you suggest me how the AIR flow should be? That is, among these 4 fans, which should I use for intake and which are for outtake?

FYI, currently I'm using Cooler master Hyper 212X CPU Cooler(1 Fan) and my CPU Cooler Fan is pooling the AIR away from the cooler towards the rear.

In most cases (pun intended), the best way to install case fans would be to have the front and the side be intakes and the top and rear be exhausts. The bottom is usually intake as well, but make sure that you have a dust filter on that bad boy down there as they love to pull dust off of surfaces. What case are you currently using for this setup? If you could give us full specs of the system, that would be great so we don't have to keep asking everytime. :pt1cable:

This is my current setup:

CPU: AMD FX 8350
Motherboard: Gigbyte 990XA UD3
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212x
GPU: Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X
Case: Cooler Master K380
PSU: Corsair RM650


And yes there is a dust filter at the bottom. Please give your suggestions. And also could you please help o pick up some budget fan which will handle the air flow inside the case firmly? Thanks in advance...

Rosewill actually makes a decent fan that moves pretty good amounts of air. They also include the screws that you will need and the adapter for power directly from your PSU. To top it all off, they light up red to match!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200050 - 8$ a piece.

(That's is also a very nice setup that you have going on there by the way...)
