I have two fan slots on the side of my case, which i want to use. the top fan slot is directly opposite my cpu and the bottom is at my graphics card and my psu.

The intake fan at the front is enough to cool my hdds, but the air doesnt reach my gpu because of the wires.

The psu fan is facing in the case and pushing that air out.

So should the bottom slot for the fan, be an intake? Blowing cool air on my gpu, allowing fresh air to go to the case, for my gpu fans to use and my psu fan to push out. My gpu is an asus 660 ti which has 3 fans. that blow onto the gpu card.

And the fan above that should that by blowing air in or out?. Ive got a corsair h75 cooler, with the rad at the back of my case, blowing air out. So will air blowing in be better for the rad, or should i be blowing out?

This is completely correct.

Make both side fans intakes.

Only the top/back fans should be exhausts
