I recently bought a NZXT Noctis 450 for my current gaming rig. I'm satisfied with that choice in terms of aesthetics, quality of materials, cable management, room size and cooling and storage capabilities. So I do not intend to discuss the benefits, defects or alternatives of this chassis. This is the chassis I have and with which I want to get the best air cooling setup.

As I just said what I want to ask you isn't for other chasis options or other chasis and CPU cooling options but for the best way to set up my case air cooling system with this NZXT Noctis 450 so a liquid cooling setup isn't the issue of this thread too. My goal is to get the optimal air flow and the lowest temps with this chassis.
My current air cooling setup on the Noctis 450 is:
Do you think I'm fine with my current air setup? ... For my purpose I think I should modify it and I've planned to change the 4 fans that came with the case and the two extras NZXT FN V2 120 with 4 or 5 BitFenix Spectre Pro 140 mm (in fact 5 are already on the way), so how do you think I should put them to achieve the best airflow and temps results? I'd appreciate any thought, opinion or tip on this regard and thanks in advance.

My current air cooling setup on the Noctis 450 is:
■3 x 120 mm AF (FN V2 120 - Case version) = Front Intake
■1 x 140 mm AF (FN V2 140 - Case version) = Rear Exhaust
■2 x 120 mm AF (FN V2 120 - Same case ver specs) = Top Exhaust
