Define R4 - Fan Setup with Corsair H50.
So the way you recommend would end up something like this, the difference between this one and my first example is the removal of the HD Cage, I'm unsure if I'll even need it as I can get creative with my mounting of the single HD and future SSD (Back Panel) to achieve better intake.
I kind of feel like perhaps a bottom exhaust in this scenario would be better because the GPU I'm using (Gigabyte GTX 760 OC) uses a Windforce cooler that dumps the hot air into the case, I'm unsure if it would end up being better as intake or exhaust on the bottom so I'll have to test it but I'm doubting that it would make any significant difference as exhaust.
The gpu fans draw in air and push it across the the heat sink fins, exhaust is out the top/back. So drawing air in from the front/bottom over the gpu and up to the cpu, then out the top rear is optimal.
If you can remove both drive cages and mount three intake fans you should be able to use the integrated fan controller to reduce their speed. This will help reduce noise levels.
