Airflow/ mounting question

[Mark123]

Hello,

My CPU cooler recently died around the same time my new 1070 EVGA FTW Hybrid arrived. I'm now trying to mount the rad for GPU along with an H100i or H75 if i couldnt fit the H100i. 

Now ideally I would want to mount the GPU rad in the top back as an exhaust and the H100i on top. unfortunately,  the case I'm using (Corsair Spec-3) doesn't fit a 120 rad in the back.

EVGA recommend mounting the rad over the GPU and so does most AIO cooler makers. Would it be fine to put the GPU rad in the front as intake with a secondary intake fan while H100i goes on top as exhaust? or is there a better way to do it that I'm not seeing?

Put the rad at the top and the hybird at the back.get that fan off that PSU and put it at the front

Put GPU rad on front and cpu rad on top.

that wouldn't have any side effect on the pump's performance? I know it would cost few degrees which is fine by me
