Good?

It's great!

I would honestly just buy a larger, faster SSD if I could and change the fan setup.

Always have radiator fans drawing air from the outside (the colder air).

Currently i have a push/pull configuration... so if i put the radiator first, then the two 120mm fans on top of the radiator, then leave the large 200 mm fan on the outside of my case. Then the air flow should be good?

Use 200mm for exhaust.

Radiator on top of case.

Rad fans should be drawing air from outside of the case. Doesn't matter if they're on top or underneath.

I can't put the radiator on the outside of the case

The radiator must be inside top of the case, so I can put the radiator first, then the two rad fans go on top of the radiator and act as exhaust fans pulling air out. And outside the case the two 200mm fans act as exhaust fans. Is that correct?

No.

Everything is mounted in the case.

Really?

It sounded like the fans on your radiator are sucking in the air in the case, instead of sucking it in from the outside.

If the fans (on the rad) are pulling air into the case that comes from the outside, then it's fine.

So I have the side, front and back fans intaking the air... then the radiator fans are taking that air through the radiator... then the two 200mm fans are taking that air outside the case.
