You could just mount the rad at the front for intake.

Hi. 
I need some help deciding some  case fans for my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BgzKqk 
I want to have positive pressure if possible and be able to control my fans. As you probably can see I am going for a red and black theme so no blue led's and stuff like that, you catch my drift.
Hope you guys can help me out since I am a bit confused myself so thank you in advance for the help!

Buy noctua reduxs. They're cheap, quiet and look good. Then just buy a red LED strip for lighting.

How will that help the overall intake of the case? Should I just keep the exhaust fan and no fans on the top?

The rad comes with 2 fans so you would have 2 front intakes and a stock fan for rear exhaust.

Didn't think about that, thank you. SHould i upgrade the fans or is it no need for that?

You can upgrade the fans if you find them too loud. As for performance, they're fine.

Ok, any fans you would recommend? Thanks for the help btw.

You should probably see whether or not the fans are too loud before looking to replace them.
