Cooling my fractal xl

[ssddanbrown]

Hi,
I am a bit OCD with noise from my computer and am constantly trying to keep things running cool.
On the flip side I hate it when my temps start to rise so I am trying to achieve the best of both.
Here's a picture of the setup:

I have recently installed the tf3 570 which I love but it throws out air towards the front of the case which makes it fight with the airflow coming from the front 140 that's hidden behind the hdd cage.
I did have a 120 in the 5" drive bays but it was quite noisy so I removed the large 180mm from the back of the case a cable-tied it at the front thus hoping the achieve of good and quiet airflow.
I also have a 140 on the side door but I would like to remove this to keep everything quiet.
Could anyone suggest a good set-up that will allow good temps while being silent?
I would also like to upgrade the CPU cooler and I have looked at the antec 620 but I am unsure if this would have negative effects on the Mobo temp when compared to air cooling.

Thanks in advance for any help

Is the top HDD cage removable? If you remove it the front fan will blow directly towards GPU and motherboard.

yes the cage is removable and you could remove the flap from the bottom bay and turn your power supply so its blowing out of the vent underneath it
