First of all I do have Thermaltake V3 case which is terrible for cable management but nontheless it's doing great job with i7 4770k and GTX980ti. I still can't help myself and not ask could I potentially lower temps since this summer I have air conditioner (strong one in 9m2 room) and I expect constant 18-20c 
Now this is my case:
But ! I do have EVO212 on i7 4770k and I do have "push and pull" combo if that is correct name ? Perhaps I'm wrong. My mobo g45 z87 gaming edition have ONLY 5 fans.
I have 2 outtakes at the top + 1 outtake behind + 2 fans on EVO212 air cooler.
This case doesn't have filter on side panel so dust..you just don't want that. I just realized that I have place for intake near my PSU (EVGA 850w G2) which is pretty cold all the time. I can't put intake at front because 60cm on the right side is my wife PC so that would most likely only increase temp since she is gaming a lot aswel.
Is it better to take out one outtake from the top (which one if it's better) and use it for bottom intake ? Or even side intake with "custom" filter ?
I'm aware that intake needs to be on case but I didn't had problems with fx8350 + 7950, 4770k + 970, and now 4770k + gtx980 g1.
So I need suggestion, and before you ask why you don't try ? Well cables.. A lot of cables even though it's modular PSU this case doesn't have option to put cables behind properly neither I'm experianced enough, neither I have nerves to play with that
Private issues.
So basically.
1) Should I leave "push and pull" fans on EVO212 ?
2) Should I leave 2 at the top ?
3) Should I bother with intake at the bottom since I have filter there ?
Air conditioner is behind on 2.5m heigh and it will be working 24/7 almost streight into cases so I feel like that one intake would do better but due to Motherboard fans limit can't help myself what to do ?

But this is first year that I installed AC so I thought perhaps I can cool PC a bit more. Btw one more question, can I add extra fans somehow through molex cables and adapters ? My PSU is modular.
