I got a Corsair SPEC-02 case for a build I'm doing this Christmas.

The case can hold up to six fans:

I'll have two air fans, one for intake one for exhaust, and another fan blowing into the case through the radiator of an H60. Something that will look like this:

I'm a beginning builder, this being my first. My only question is whether this is a good design for airflow?

My guess is that the air will come in through the bottom right intake and make its way through the case, exiting out the top along with the radiator's hot air.

I don't know whether this will work, and I don't want to buy more fans than provided (I will if I have to).

 

Is this plan a good idea?

It doesn't have 3 intakes on the front. How would this setup help anyhow?

Oh i'm dump I though there were 3 front because 2 fans that are optional plus one included.Bassically you want balanced airflow leanig towards positive

Would my setup do that? Look at the poorly drawn diagram. It has more intake than exhaust (2:1)

I would reccomend 2 front Intakes and 2 rad intakes and the only exhaust as the rear fan .You know this doen't matter that much right

Yes I just wanted some input in case there's something I'm doing horribly wrong. It's only a single-fan radiator and I'd prefer not to buy extra fans.
