Generally yeah, you have the h80i on the back exhausting and 2 fans on the roof exhausting.    The 2 on the top can be airflow fans, but it really doesn't matter. Then have 2 sp fans (140mm) on the front intaking (they should be Pressure optimised fans, but again it doesn't really matter).

As for fans, some of the best are NF-F12's, NF-A14's, noiseblocker blacksilent pros, silver stone air penetrators.
