Hi, I'm planning to rebuild my computer in a smaller, custom case, but I havr no idea which fan setup would provide the best airflow. Here's a quick drawing of the project (though I will probably use a riser and install the graphics card horizontally)

I have two 120mm fans from my cooler master masterbox 5. Should I

1 - put both of them at the front of the case (which will sit horizontally) and cut a passive exhaust vent at the back

2 - do the opposite (passive intake, two exhaust fans) 

3 - put one at the front, the other at the back

4 - buy (or make) a pwm splitter and an extra fan so that I can install two intake fans on one header, and still have an exhaust fan at the back.

 

Thanks.

The only thing that matters is this

so long as the air thats in the case is going out and new air is coming in , that's all that matters. So long as the individual componenets (cpu , gpu , power supply ect...) are not reusing the hot air they make to cool themselves off , then they will be fine.
