Do you have a spot on the bottom for a fan? If so, I would put one there as intake, and turn the intake fan around on top and move it to the middle spot. The way you have it right now is likely causing a lot of turbulence across at least the top front intake fan, and I don't think that setup will exhaust very well.

Sadly there is no fan spot on the bottom. I changed my build a bit. Moved hard drives to the top. Now the top fan is cooling drives and some spare air is moved over CPU and it shouldn't cause turbulence with front fans.
One more thing i noticed. Because i started looking into airflow because my CPU temp during WoW which was about 41'C and it seemed for me a little high. After 1 hour spent with Fan Expert i discovered that my Maximus VII Ranger OC'd my CPU to 4.8 Ghz and it worked like charm O_O
41C under load is fine. No worries. If you'd like confirmation on if you have adequate air flow. Game for an hour and check temps. then pull off the side panel and game for another hour. If the temps drop more than 2-3 degrees then you need more airflow.
Also, I'd recommend OCing from the BIOS instead of using software, if I'm reading you correctly that is.

Positive seems to do better for dust for me ?
Could just be the characteristics of my particular case though ???
Did a client build in this case, loved it

Well, as far as i'm aware positive preassure is better so i'm planning to keep intake>ex
Positive pressure keeps dust from coming in the cracks of your PC... that is about it. But that only works if your intake is filtered anyway.
Well, i have decent filters on intake.
Still need to wait for it. Half of july in PL is expected date ;f
To keep dust away.
I'm going to reduce voltage on front fans to 9V using noctua LNA to keep it quiet.
