Hey guys, so since I'm soon going to buy a new PC with a 980TI, and an I7-6700k cooled by an H100i GTX from corsair all inside the s340 from NZXT, I've got a question:
Since the S340 only has room for the radiator in the front, and then has a 120mm fan in the back, and a 120 in the top (upgradeable to 140mm) how would I go about setting it all up?
Would back+top as outake and front fans as intake pushing through the radiator work? Or would this make my whole case and possibly my 980ti too hot since the air is picking up the heat going through the radiator?

 
Solution
Rear+Top=Exhaust while Front is definitely set to intake. Appropriately you can purchase a GPU that is based off a single fan, blower style card and you'll be able to throw the GPU's heat out but in any case you'll be fine with your setup. A larger fan as an exhaust could help alleviate your temps as well as larger fans mean more airflow at a reduced rpm so a future add on should be to add a 140mm fan to your purchase list.
