Best Airflow in S340 with Radiator?

Hi guys, this is my first post (and PC build for that matter) so please excuse my mistakes. 

So here's the deal, I'm planning on building a PC using the s340 (red/black), I've decided to go with an AIO watercooler (Corsair H100iv2), which would go in the front of course, and then two case fans (CM Jetflos) in the remaining top and rear fan slots. Now I would like to have positive pressure ideally, however with the two fans on the rad being 75 or so CFM (the actual flow is probably lower as it has to push air through the rad) and the two other case fans being 95 CFM that would create a negative pressure situation if I'm not mistaken. Now this is where I need your expertise, I've thought about having the top case fan be intake as well so the the radiator fans would be intake, the top fan would be intake, and the rear fan would be exhaust. Now is this too much positive pressure or could it work?

 

Open to all suggestions and thank you for taking the time to read my wordy question. :)

Depends on if you hook those fans up to the motherboard / fan speed controller or just a case fan power switch (hi/lo/off). In theory you could control the fans with the motherboard to slow the two fans in the top and rear.

 

Unless your top fan is filtered though I'd recommend using it as an exhaust.
