How does this look?

When you have a non-reference cooler on a GPU, the fans blow the hot air back out into the case. Since there will be another video card below it, the hot air will be blown onto the video card, increasing temps of the bottom GPU. It may be a bit louder and a bit hotter when using reference coolers, but it saves the bottom video card from being burned alive during load. Blower style reference coolers use the vents on the PCIe bracket and exhaust air out that way.

I used two GPU's in both cases and both 780ti's were cooler than the Titan Blacks.

If i set it up like this with the front fans as intake and the rear and CPU cooler fan as outtake that  should be all good rigth?

while true in a way, if you have great airflow such as the H440 this wont happen and is NO issue what so ever

It really depends on the airflow in your case. I would use reference coolers, but the H440 does have 3 120mm front intake fans. If you remove drive cages and setup a very direct airflow to your GPUs you should be good. The H440 does have good airflow.

Overall it's a good PC. I would go with Gigabyte Windforce for the Graphic Cards (they are much cooler) and 1000 W is OverKill. (sorry if bad english)

Nah the coolers on the r9 290x's are too loud. For instance an r9 290x with the DCU2 cooler is way louder than the one on the 780ti. Also why exactly should I swap the PSU? The RM Series is pretty much the quietest line PSU's on the market and it has those sexy cabels. 

The vapor x 290x is very quiet. The dcu ii 290/x is just generally crap because its the same design they used for the 780. The RM series has bad chinese (capxxon) secondary caps as well as other chinese components.

You can spend the "saved money" from the extra cost of the 780 ti's and get a good PSU like this one: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/seasonic_1000w_platinum_power_supply_review,2.html

Fan is very quiet as well.
