Optimum Cooling Setup?

I was just wondering what you guys think of how I am cooling my system, especially my graphics card. Here's how my PCI slots are setup at the moment.
Sadly I only have 4 slots.

1 ATI Radeon X850PRO GFX Card (fan faces down)
2 Antec PCI Exhaust Fan (Fan faces up)
3 TV Tuner Card
4 Creative Soundblaster Audigy4 sound card

I have not seen a huge improvement in the temps of my system nor any kind of framerate increase in games. I simply thought that if the exhaust fan was right under the gfx card fan that it'd suck the air out and outside of the computer. Is this the best setup or should things be configured different for better air flow?
 
I also have an Antec exhause fan located under my video card, and i only noticed about 1C temp drop. However the temp does drop quicker.
