My New Gaming Rig!

Indeed!
Side fan should be an intake
Rear fan should be an exhaust (120mm ).
Front fan is intake : that's ok
CPU fan should blow air to the rear exhaust fan : so you have to hook up the fan on the other side

So relatively cool air will flow through front and side panels and hot air will blow away from rear exhaust fan and from the PSU back grill

Anyway idle temps are pretty high. The casing is too small for such a high-end system..
set the VGA fan to 100% using EVGA Precision. CPU is around 50-60 under load or idle?

I beleive side fans screw your cooling plan.Beleive me I did real word experience with them.I've done like 20 or so case mods it takes bit time to adjust the side air intake.

ive got a fan running on my side as an intake but works fine except for the dust......

Not with the stock CPU fan .Stock fan loves side air intake.But with rear exhaust positioned cooling its a real problem.And even if the air pressure is too high the frontintake will stop at the power of side intake.Create some smoke and make a wind tunnel.

Thanks for your tips guys!

I got a PCI exhaust fan and a thermal-controlled 8cm fan from a used parts store for Rs.200/= each. Put the PCI fan right under the VGA card. Hooked up the 8cm fan to exhaust out the rear vent holes. Switched the direction of the CPU cooler fan. Put the 8cm (supposedly low-noise) fan on the front of the case in front of the HDD cage as intake (although I don't feel much air movement from it ). Now the temps are much better. The GTX loads at arnd 85 C, with auto fan control.
Hopefully things should improve more when I get the EVGA backplate.

Will post some more pics soon.

Finally installed Crysis. Not Warhead, the original.

Running at 1920x1200 res, everything Very High, 4xAA, and I get 30+ FPS on average. The attention to detail in this game is just remarkable.

I'd turn off AA and enjoy high FPS. No real need for AA at that resolution. Lag free fps is more important. (IMHO)
