So the case I want is a Phanteks Evolv Matx TG and due to my GPU's length I can only run one fan at the front. Now just wondering if the GPU's temps would be affected with this fan layout. Front and rear fans will be intakes and top will be What are your thoughts?

Partly off topic, but what direction will the fans push air?

If only the front fan will act as an intake and then the rear fan plus the fans on the radiator will blow air out of the case, then you'll end up with a "negative pressure" which means air will get sucked into the case to even out the pressure - through vents and cracks in the case - bringing in dust.

So you may end up with a config that accumulates dust extra fast.

Asus X99-A w/ BIOS 3402 | Intel i7 5820k OC @4.4GHz 1.28V w/ Noctua NH-U14S | 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 OC @2666MHz 12-14-14-28 | Asus Geforce GTX970 STRIX OC | EVGA 750 G2 750W | Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB | Windows 10 64-bit | Be-Quiet Silent Base 800 w/ Silent Wings | 2x Dell U2414H OC @72Hz w/ Display Port

 

Don't forget to invest in an Intel Tuning Plan if you're going to overvolt your K/X CPU

It'll be neutral because I'll have the front and rear as intakes whilst the top will be exhaust.

Looks fine, doesn't look like you have too many other choices with that case. If you get a larger one, you'll be able to add more fans if needed

Yeah f*ck it, think I'll just grab a Define S instead of spending twice the money on the Evolv ATX model.
