My questions.

1.) is this a good setup?
2.) should intakes or out takes be on side pannel?
3.) do i need to replace the preinstalled fan?
 
Solution
1x120mm front intake
1X120mm rear exhaust
2x120mm top exhaust
Top side panel mount empty= allows space for aftermarket heatsink
1X120mm side intake bottom position = cools gpu
No need to replace stock fan.
