question about cooling (H70 and Coolermaster HAF X)

so im about to put together my new rig, and i purchased the corsair H70 liquid cooling system. The manual says they recommend that the radiator fans run in a push/pull config and act as an intake on the case. My question is, since i have an exhaust fan directly above the cpu on top of the case (250mm? i beleive or a 200mm) is it ok to draw air in from the rear of the case? the front will be drawing air in from the front and i plan on adding another top mount fan for exhaust. so basically id be pulling air in from the back, front, side, and bottom (i think the bottom fans are in takes?) and itll all exit up top through the 2 200+mm fans... sound like a good plan?

o yea Coolermaster HAF X case.
 
you could, but then the warm air is being stuffed into the case, and may not necessarily get out of the case in a fast manner even with the top mounted exhaust, i would go with inside air and exhaust out the back, but thats how mine is set up

(also be patient answers sometimes come faster than others)
 
i was just thinkin its probably better to draw cool air through the radiator instead of warm air from within the case....also there is no fans on the bottom, i thought there was. its a bottom mounted power supply, so im assuming the fan on the P/S points down? so air would exit through the top and bottom.
