Looks alright to me, but I'd remove a top exhaust fan to create positive pressure and keep dust out. It will be more than enough anyway.

HEADS UP, THIS ACCOUNT IS INACTIVE NOW

I'm keeping everything else the way it was for anyone who might check out my answers in future, but I won't be using LTT.

Don't put both intakes and exhausts next to each other at the top unless you want to recycle heat back into the case. 

A single fan at the top for exhaust would be enough already. If possible, move the rad to the top for exhaust instead and have more fans in the front for better graphics card cooling.

that's the thing though, the way the case is designed. top fans rack only accept 120mm fans. ans if i could installed the radiator on top, it is obstructed by the motherboard

(it's a corsair h110i the fans are 140mm and with the radiator it's around 3 inch thick.) so a top radiator is not an option for me

 

all im asking is should i set one of the top fans for intake instead of all of them as exhaust (since the default radiator fans are technicly static)

 

for those asking if a front radiator setup is even possible, jayztwocents and bitwit did it and the thermal are similar if not better

Use the top as exhaust.

yeah, i pretty much answered my question when i installed my last fan. air would just push back on the gpu and went to almost 48c

 

placing them all in exhaust put the gpu back to 36c

 

plenty of air vents so no fear of negative pressure (hopefully)
