Sorry I should have been more clear. Are you keeping it on the floor or on a desk?

 

On a desk, the airflow is very good. When making the PC my house was very dusty as their were builders here and for the few days I had my PC it got very dusty fast and now there is quite a bit of dust in there.

That might also be a problem. See Linus's video here on how to take care of it-

Okay how do I make sure of it and in what order shall I put the 2 fans in like on the corners how should they look to push in or out etc.

When you take the fans off would you be able to take a picture when of them when you fine the arrows on the corners of all of them?

Downloading programs from CNet is not a good idea, as they will commonly include unwanted, and sometimes dangerous bloatware... The more you know.

Also, my radiator is very dusty!

That will most likely be your issue, do you have any canned air (I wouldn't suggest using it/buying it because it's a waste of money and it is proven to be bad for the environment/bad to breathe in, and can be dangerous/hazardous to your PC parts if and liquid sprays out and gets on the parts.

I put both the arrows going right when putting them back in so they are both sucking inpost-193801-0-53045300-1426451025_thumb.post-193801-0-87096700-1426451029_thumb.

Nice! Just make sure to follow the directions on the back. I almost ruined my motherboard by shaking it! #fail

 

:P I have used an Air Duster before lol I know what happens when you shake it and also when you tip it over whilst spraying.. that would fuck up everything if that shit froze my pc

IS this okay?

 

The 2 front fans suck in cool air and the 2 back fans with the radiator also suck in cool air

That could also be a problem. I would turn your back two or front fans around because the hot air is only passively escaping, resulting in hotter temperatures

Okay which do you think would be better? I think the 2 front fans would be better to blow out hot air

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! That gives the radiator cool air and exhausts all the hot air from the case. Just to make it even better in the future, I would add an intake fan in the top if possible to draw in cool air for your other components
