Is this the best setup I can do with what I have?

Enlight 7237 w/ a 300 watt power supply. 80mm intake fan in the front of the case. 80mm fan in the rear of the case blowing out. PS fan blowing out in the rear of the PS. So, that's what I have. Should I switch the intake/outtake fans, or are they great? I checked the AMD website and that's what they recommended, but I was wondering if you hardcore coolers had any other suggestions besides shelling out another 30 dollars for another pair of 80mm fans and drilling and dremmeling my side panels to fit them. thanks for any suggestions.

Suggestion;
actually measuring temperatures at a few positions in the case to determine if you have any excessive heat problems; then strive to correct the problems

the two greatest heat producer's are typically the CPU & the video card chip

it's an athlon 1k with a taisol cek734 on it. i was thinking about removing it and then replacing the thermal compound with arctic silver. the vid card is an asus 7700 with the stock hs/fan. i think that's sufficient.
