Is this a good setup for my fans? Or should I reconsider this? (every arrow represents one fan)

Assuming you have all the fans running at the same RPM, you would have negative pressure (I think) which will eventually result in dust, or at least more than with a positive pressure solution.

If you have a discrete GPU, I'd recommend intake through the side panel to feed it with fresh, cool air. If you don't have a discrete GPU, you really don't need a side fan and can leave that as a passive vent.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Positive airflow only helps decrease dust accumulation if the intakes are filtered. If the case in question is in the photo, that's probably not the case.

That depends on GPU. Open-air style cooler benefits from exhaust more than intake. Plus its hard to say if side vent is even on top of GPU from that pic.
