Cooling on a Jonsbo U3/Rosewill U3 case

Planned build:
Jonsbo U3 mATX
Corsair CX430M
Gigabyte B75M
E3 1230 v2 w/Corsair H60
G.Skill Ares 4x8GB 1600MHz
EVGA GTX 750 ti 2GB FTW
Samsung 830 128GB SSD
Crucial M500 480GB SSD
WD Black 500GB HDD

I'm rebuilding my PC because it's been having a lot of issues. I need a cheap and compact case that I can get easily (shipping in China is rather difficult) so I've settled on the Jonsbo U3 case. - identical to this (and half the price in China!)

I have a few questions on the cooling. The only fans on this case will be the power supply (points down towards the motherboard), the rear 120mm fan which will be attached to a Corsair H60 water cooler, and the video card (EVGA GTX 750 ti FTW - ACX dual fan cooler).

So my questions are, the video card has some decently strong fans (and loud), so will they suck in enough air to keep the hard drives (SSD's) ventilated? Or should I consider installing a PCI fan like this one:

The video card blows air out the top of the card so I'm worried the rear 120mm fan wont be enough to pull the air out the back of the case. Does anyone have experience with this case or have suggestions for improving cooling? I'm not running a super powerful system (E3 1230 v3 / Gigabyte B75M) The problems I have are the motherboard only has two fan connectors, and the Corsair H60 does not have a 2nd lead coming from the pump so one MoBo connector will be used for the pump and one for the fan attached to the radiator. So I can't do a push-pull system unless I get an adapter (which I may have to get one!) I'm ok without a push-pull since it's a little less cluttered inside and the H60 is more than adequate to cool the CPU. I'm more worried about the other components and cooling since their won't be much air flow.
