Can you pls tell me the ideal positions for my fans i have one 120mm fan and i am getting 1 70mm fan tomorrow (or 120mm depends on what you guys say), but i cant mount any fan in the front because there is no space for it ... These are the only fan mounts i have in my case

My specs are:
-Amd radeon r7 240 2gb ddr3 constantly OC'd to 1000Mhz on core and 1000Mhz on memory temps are around 60C on full load
-Amd Athlon II X3 435 OC'd to 3.5Ghz with 1.45V so it gets pretty hot /*with that 120mm intake fan in the back its temps are around 79C on full load, without it pc goes into fail safe and shuts down(lol)
-PSU-->Some generic Psu and that is the reason why i am posting this. Its 500W and it have 1 exhaust fan in the back and 1 intake fan inside(see on pic 2) .
With that 120mm fan being the only one in the case PSU gets really hot and its fans start sounding like a jet engine.
I tried putting that 120mm down (see pic 1 ) but that doesnt really do anything much, gpu temps are lower and it takes a bit longer for cpu to go into a fail safe and psu still sounds like jet engine.
I am posting this because i hope you guys could tell me the ideal position so i don't experiment with each positions because those fans are really pain in the a** to mount with that screws that drill into the plastic of the fan.
 
Solution
Really can't do much with that case, those older cases are bad for airflow/cooling.

A new case would be your best option here, take the top mounted fan and put it in the front as intake, would have in 120mm intake and one 120mm as exhaust. Option of having 2x 120mm fans in the front.

I have considered that, but since i am buying Ryzen 3 1300x with new mobo and RAM in 2 weeks i would prefer R3 1300x without the new case than R3 1200 with the case but if there Is really no other solution than buying new case i will probably buy it but later and i would like to keep temps lower until than
 


All you can really do is take off the side for now, would only be 2 weeks.

Just replaced 2 of my older cases with Focus G's lately, the old ones were over 12 years old and really sucked for cooling etc.
