Quick Fan Setup Question

I received my computer from overclockers last week and overall I am very happy with it. It is a Titan envy duo with SLI EVGA GTX 980's. I just have 1 small question on the way the fans are setup. The case is a Corsair 750d and I am unsure if the way it is setup is optimal.

As you can see it has 2 fans on the front with a nice filter and the 2 fans on the top pulling air in through the water cooler but the top filter is not so good.

My question is should I change it so that the top 2 fans so that they exhaust through the radiator like this?

I really want to keep dust down so would much rather have all the air going through the fine filter in the front but obviously if I have more air going out than in i am going to have negative pressure and air/dust will be pulled through all of the open grills. so.... what would you do?

The idea with radiator fans is that they push cool outside air through the radiator providing more cooling than if the were pulling warm air from inside the case out through the radiator.

Yea I understand that. maybe I should modify the top grill to have a better filter...

I would turn that power supply so the fan sucks cool air in from the underneath ...and I would also have that rad setup so the fans are pushing air through the roof of the case, also I would remove the HDD cage this would give a little more air from the two front fans

Psu up or downside makes no difference imo.

I would keep it as it is for the positive airflow ie less dust in the case.
