Always make sure that the air flows from front to back.

You'll want fans sucking in from the front, and blowing out thru the back. I wouldn't worry about gpu temp that much. They can take a lot usually. Its the CPU you need to worry about.

What kind of thermal paste did you use, and did you follow the directions properly? Applying that stuff is no joke. If you don't follow what's spec'd out, you could have big overheating probs.
