Case airflow feedback

[TheRedViper]

So, I am starting to plan the assembly of my new build and the airflow bothers me a bit. The case is the Mercury S8 from Caselabs and this image is almost identical except for the front intake which is shown as 240mm while mine has 360mm and my top cover is extended to allow for push/pull. Anyways, my initial idea is as follow, blue is air in and red is air out. Since hot air rises, seems logical to me that the rad at the top becomes an exhaust (push/pull) with the 140mm fan next to the cpu socket (the mobo is flat in this case). The radiator at the front cover and the one at the bottom of the side panel would both push air in. Seems about right?

why do you need 3 radiators?

I think you are going to hit limitations of heat transfer at the IHS before utilizing all of the radiator space there, but it doesn't necessarily hurt either as long as you have good enough fans to provide enough intake through the radiators.

i would have bought either a 7700k, or a Ryzen 1700 and then bought and then a GTX 1080 and been VR ready at that price

In spacy case you can do whatever you like. Hot air rising isn't factor inside PC case where fans are moving air. That fact only matters outside the case and if case if placed in tight spot, like under table.
