Help with system air circulation question.

I'm building m-itx system because of the limited space in my room, so I got a coolermaster elite 110 for my case. I'm planning to run a r3 3300X and a asus 1660 super in the case, and using an noctua nhl-12"s for cpu cooling. I was thinking of using the corsair sf600 as an exhaust since it was right above the cpu cooler and set the fan below the fins and blow into the psu, would that be a good idea or should I set the fan on the cooler to blow down on to the board and flip the psu up and be a stand alone intake and exhaust? 

 

Please advice

Flip the PSU so it is in it's own airflow cycle and put the CPU fan on normally. Otherwise they will both choke each other and you'll have higher temps.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
