Looks good, I'd do it the same way.

I've never been keen on fans till today, when I decided to finalize my PC build.
I realized that for a heavy editing/light gaming PC, temperatures must be handled efficiently, especially with my plans on pairing a Zen CPU with an RX 480.
Considering I'm quite noob in the PC building realm, I'm not going anywhere near a water rig or whatever it's called.
Anyways, I researched a ton on fan speeds, noise levels, balanced out prices and come up with a diagram generalizing my thoughts on how air might circulate through my system.
The point of this thread is to make sure I'm on the right path towards maxing out the efficiency of my build airflow-wise.
Here's my diagram:
I am very new to this push and pull reference so if anyone can dumb it down a bit, it would be greatly appreciated.
It would be even more appreciated if you fixed my diagram, showing what you believe is the correct airflow pattern:
Just drag this in paint and draw the arrows to represent airflow using the pencil tool or whatever.
Thanks for reading!

Pusp/Pull config is when you have two fans and a radiator sandwhiched in between. one fan blows into the radiator, and the other fan pulls the air out, giving the air a bit more "umph" when passing through. The idea here is to have positive air pressure, which is more air going in, than going out. You can tell this by placing your hand on near the back of the PCIe slots on the case. If you can feel air being pushed out, that's positive air pressure. An ideal setup would have positive air pressure. I've got two 120mm intake fans in the top, two i120mm n the front, and a single 140mm exhaust fan in the rear.
THis is how you would achieve a positive air pressure in the chassis (if it makes sense):
Reasoning: Having the top two as exhaust could potentially choke the radiator fans and cause a loss of performance and/or increased noise since the top intake will pull in most of the air before it reaches the radiator.
