    Looks like a very well rounded system!

    Any plans for overclocking the CPU?

    It looks as though the fans in your cpu coolers radiator are the wrong way around?

    They are currently sucking in to your case, but usually they would be mounted to blow the heat out?

    Yes that is correct, it is Corsair logic. They advise to mount them that way so cooler air from outside gets sucked in so it works better. I will be filling my case with hot air so hope the fan mounted at the back will suck it out.

    The other option is to blow hot air from within the case out, but this will decrease performance......not sure by how much. I am waiting for new fans from corsair, so i might swap it around as I prefer exhaust at top.

    A way to increase it the way you have the fan mounted is to put a normal fan (even a small one will work from an old GPU/CPU) at the bottom of the case pushing air up. This way you can redirect the flow of air on a more strong and efficient way towards your hardware,and not just sucking air from outside and pumping it in the case (remember hot air tends to go up, and setting a fan at the bottom will redirect all the air inside the case way up)....
