Optimum fan setup for airflow

Hi all.

What are your thoughts on what I'm setting up for my airflow solution. Hoping to hit a decent overclock on cpu, Gpu and ram so I want to have the temps right...

2x120mm intake fans at front of case and 1x120mm intake in lower middle on the side.

1x120mm exhaust at the rear with water coolers radiator + 1x200mm exhaust at top of case.

My thought process is this will create a positive (or at least neatrul) air pressure forcing hot air to rise and be pushed out, with the big boy 200mm fan at the top doing 70% of that work so the water coolers exhaust fan can focus on keeping its radiator cool without all of the added heat from other components...

I got the example from this awesome video showcasing various setups

Thoughts?

Well, I've been waiting for a few days to see of your development. Anything about the picture I asked you to pass on? I'll need that to help you with improving the airflow in your case, cablemanagement being one of the aspects to help improve said airflow.

Are we to assume you're working with an Antec 900 chassis? If so, part of your airflow will be disrupted by the bottom mounted PSU drawing air from within the chassis. If not then you're going to have to specify your full system's specs since the heat dump will vary from system to system(with or without an overclock) and each cases airflow isn't the same. Some will have more restrictions while some wont/don't.

List your specs like so:
CPU(and CPU cooler):
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

Can you pass on a pic of your system internals? The issue with that case is that will need some loving and by that I mean tidying up the cables inside to help aid airflow. In today's standards, you could pick up a better case.

Just out of curiosity, where are you located?
