AMD Radeon R9 295X2 to Get Promotional Price, Open to All

Could someone help with a setup question for when this arrives?

Currently this is how I have my case setup:

COOLER MASTER Seidon 240M radiator/fans at the top of the case for CPU

Corsair standard case fans at front and rear

Obviously the 295x2 comes with a dedicated 120mm radiator and fan.

Where's my best option for placement? If I have to I could move the Seidon 240M but it would be a bit of a pain.

Mount the Rad on the exhaust outlet at the back?

Personally id fit the 120 rad that the 295x2 comes with at the front, on the inside using the 295x2 rad fan as a pull, and the standard case fans as push into the radiator so that its getting maximum cool air into it. and keep your exhaust fan as standard.

P.s, get some cable ties man, tidy them wires up! and feed them behind the motherboard tray
 
Yeah I know it's a mess :)

Thinking about it, I couldn't move the 240mm rad/fans to the front due to the hard drive cage anyway.

Bit worried about the clearance for the Asus Impact VI daughter board if I put the 120mm rad at the back though....

Original plan was to run a small case (Ncase M1) with a 290x, hence the mini-ITX motherboard, but there's not enough power in an SFX PSU for an AMD 295x2 so I'll hang on to the Corsair 350d.

PSU is being upgraded to a SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W

My GTX780 while idling and the 4 Akasa Apache on the H100i are more loud than 38db. According to the app I have on the phone.
