So I'm currently using a Raven 03, which I absolutely love for the looks. In it is a core i7 5775c, h100i gtx (intake) and 2x msi r9 380 4GB.

Now I'm wondering, since the case is more designed to use blower style cards, if my airflow can be any better. Right now, there's air coming from the two AP181 fans and the h100i gtx mounted on the place of the drive bays.

 

Would it be a better situation where I would mount an intake fan on the back towards the gpu's, and reverse the h100i gtx to do push/pull (as shown in second picture)?

I believe both will be about the same... The only benefit will be the Push/pull setup and the slight edge that gives the CPU rad.The GPU should not be receiving the air from the CPU anyways due to the MOBO orientation. More fans = more noise, I would not do it (except if you get all Noctuas or BeQuiets barely audible).

Planning on trying StarCitizen (Highly recommended)? STAR-NR5P-CJFR is my referal link
