Fail attempt at showing I know, but basically, the heatsink fan is blowing out the top, the fan above is sucking out the top too, and the fan on the back is sucking out. GFX Card is blowing down onto PSU

Should I change the setup to something better than this?

It seems a little strange the graphics card would blow down, usually they expel air out the back or are a "flower" type design so would blow air to the sides of the card rather than down.

I take it you have 2 intake fans at the front?

Well when it's plugged in, the fan is facing down, although saying that it'd suck air in and shove it out the sides. And no I don't, only one on the top and one on the back, I was thinking of getting two for the front that'd pass through the HDD's

Get 2 for the front, and 1 for the side for extra cooling to ur gfx and mobo
the 2 that are fitted are exhaust (top and back)

Yeah I'd get 2 for the front, the cool air coming in should see your temps reduce a bit and create a flow of air through the case.
