put the h100i on top as exhaust and the rear as exhaust, use front and whatever you want as intakes.   

I had that originally but thought it *looked* better at the front

120mm fan in the bottom taking in fresh air for the 240 rad

240 rad in the front exhausting air out of the front

2x 140mm fan in the top taking in fresh air 

120mm fan in the rear as exhaust

 

this way the 240 rad won't blow hot air into the case, whilst also not getting to hot air going into it because of the 120 in the bottom and 2 140's in the top. Make shure that the 120 bottom spins faster than the rad fans. Also ypur gpu gets cool air because of the 120 in the bottom. One 120 is enough for a single GPU to provide air. If that is not enough, the top 140's will push fresh air to the bottom of the case. So this way, all your components will be cooled in the best en most efficient way.

thats a great explanation.

One thing though ive actually got a power supply shroud that covers most of the bottom so would block a 120 mounted there

You could mod the PSU cover by making a pattern in the top to allow for air to pass through. Do you have any pictures of the shroud?
