I am pretty sure a PSU is supposed to suck air in with the fan and passively exhaust it.

I was thinking about turning the PSU fan down due the dust filter in the bottom of the case ... How much do you think this ´d help the airflow?

Will you be getting a 1440p monitor? A 780 Ti is a bit overkill for 1080p.

 

Really nice build by the way. Love the case.

I want to but first I will try to get a 120Ghz or 144Ghz monitor. The next monitor Im specting to buy is BenQ's XL2420TE which looks awesome ( 

) but first I have to save money to buy something like that.

Hope this improve air flow 

 

 

sorry to inform you that you've wasted your time flipping the psu.  the psu fan sucks air into the psu and blows it out the back outside of the case.  the gpu cooler does the same exact thing.  neither of those is blowing hot air anywhere inside the case.  but now that its fan down, you can leave it.  it's really fine either way.

Amazing build, but I too think some of this hardware is a tad overkill for 1080p gaming. And given your choice of case (Can't wait to get mine), I would have gone with a 240mm all-in-one cooler over the H80i, for some more overclocking headroom.
