Where should I put my exhaust fan? (Raijintek Metis Plus)

My case is a Raijintek Metis Plus. It has an inverted motherboard, and two 120mm fan mounts.

I'm puzzled as to where I could mount an exhaust fan. I drew a diagram to show you.

The red is the motherboard.
The green is the CPU cooler.
The blue is the graphics card.
The greys are fans.

If I put an exhaust on the top above the GPU, it will only be sucking air away from the GPU, slightly suffocating it.
If I put an exhaust at the back next to the CPU cooler, it will do the same thing but suffocating the CPU.

Which one would be more beneficial as an exhaust, or should I just stick with two intake fans?

Don't see your diagram, Cool case, you definitely want cool air entering the case and being exhausted by the graphics card, don't know what your cpu cooler looks like but you want that heat removed as well, so 1 intake, 1 exhaust is ideal.

Yes, I had a Corsair 500M in there before (it's a smaller atx psu) and it was pressing up against my old graphics card pretty hard. SFX or SFX-L would be ideal for this case if you have a full length gpu.
