So I just built a budget gaming PC and I would like an input whether I am having a positive or negative air pressure? At the moment, I have 2 intakes and 1 exhaust...

Case: Deepcool Tesseract WH ATX
Cooling system - 1 rear exhaust fan, 1 front intake fan, 1 side intake fan
Fans: Coolmaster Sickleflow 120 (front) 69CFM, Deepcool DC fan (side) 53.65CPM, stock DC fan (back)
PSU is mounted at the bottom

In addition, I have a coolmaster Hyper 212 evo cpu cooler and a GTX960 Strix GPU. Would these act as air intakes?

The component fans don't act as intakes, your air intakes are the side and front fans and the exhaust is the rear fan. Without knowing what the cfm of your rear fan is, assuming standard between 45-50cfm and 80cfm, it sounds like you're running positive case airflow. So long as you have a steady flow of air moving into and out of the case you should be good.
