Hi,
I have a DiabloTek case (EVO).

It has 4 fans. One in the front bottom, one on the back-top, and two on the top of the case.

My internal components are:
i7 3770 - with Hyper 212+ cooler
2x 4GB g.Skill 1600MHz
1 PCI NIC
1 Sapphire Dual X - 7970 OC w/ Boost

The gpu creates a lot of heat. So my question is how would you setup airflow for this?

Right now the front fan is the only one taking air in, the others are pushing air out.

That setup is correct.
If there is a mounting point, or you want to make one, on the side vent, put another fan there as an intake

Great! My case should allow for two more side mount fans. I'll see what I can do.

After routing all my cables appropriately in the case, the temps are back to normal! Thanks so much. The fan directions/placement are working well.
