Critique my case's cooling fan setup

My case, Lian Li PC-A04, doesn't particularly have a rear fan; it does have a small mounting hole, but I think only a 80/90mm fan will fit.

see picture here

I already have (3) 120mm fans, and I purchased a heatsink with a 120mm fan, so here is my layout:

Two 120mm fans at the front, and one 120mm fan at the top. The heatsink mount can only orientate blowing to the rear or front (not upwards).

I really like this case, and I snag it for $60 so I'm going with it. Cable management isn't the best, but I will figure something out.
 
Yep, that's good. The exhaust is at the top where hot air rises naturally and assisted by the intakes. Intake airflow is higher than exhaust airflow which means positive pressure, and positive pressure means less dust inside the case provided both intakes have filters on them.
 
+1, good, I'd be inclined to add a 92mm in that rear mount as well but if your temps are good there is no need. I like that case too.
