This would work fine.
I would run a triple rad in the front and use 2 fans as exhaust, but what you've drawn would be fine.

Good morning/afternoon,

LTT community I have a question about my planned new gaming/rendering/steaming rig. The case is a Cool Master MasterCase Pro 5. As you can see from the attracted image, is this the best optimize for cooling? Not really familiar with this type of case

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
