How many fans can you have in the front? Just one?

I'm currently planning out, so it can change, but for now it's one.

2 in the front and 1 in the bottom - intake.

Put the PSU fan sucking air from the outside.

2 in the top and 1 on the back - outtake.

ehh..

 

i'm gonna put a 3.5" HDD, so one of the front intakes are going to be interrupted.

perhaps one less top outtake?

Flip PSU around, have as many front intakes as you can fit. Leave bottom fan out (add later if you experience GPU overheating). Remove one of top intakes or flip rear top one as exhaust instead. Remember to have dust filters on all intakes.
