Acer Predator g3-710 Case modding

Hey,

 

I'm looking for some advice on if my ideas would make sense or not. I just wanna start with saying, yes, I know it's nothing amazing, but its what I have. I managed to get a crazy cheap deal on the setup, inc a stupidly cheap GTX 770 (as in free)

 

So...it will play stuff better than expected, actually waaaaay better than expected. But at a price, the video card is getting pretty toasty. I've installed an arctic f9 92mm case fan on the back of the case, as it didn't have a fan, which has made a big difference tbf. but I'm thinking, would it make sense to make some cooling in the base of the case? I could do it easy enough, just a thought. I've added some pics of the case, just looking for some opinion. 

 

Thanks.

Are there any mounting points and vents at the front where a front fan would be able to be mounted as an intake?

Thanks for the reply. That had been my first idea, but there's nothing there to mount too.
