actually that is a good question - what do you think?

On the one hand a case fan moves air from the entire case but on the other hand I have here two very specific heat sources (CPU and even more GPU). The CPU heatsink is not even warm to the touch - have no idea how hot the GPU heatsink will be but I am guessing that warmer.

I will bet on the first option, two fans on those heatsinks: and if you may use the HR-01 relative plastic duct (or a similar product, as you have that bottom mounted PSU), maybe you could spare also the CPU fan.

I have a Q9450 and a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 775 maybe I can somehow put a fan below the GPU cooler that will blow air up throw the GPU and CPU heatsinks and into the upper fan (I need to check the direction of the fins on both heasinks...
