He was saying that by moving the HDD around you could get more direct air into the case and onto the GPU. He was not talking about moving your HDD to better airflow.

The already mentioned suggestions are all good. Tidy up wires more and flip the PSU (so it brings it outside air directly and exhausts it, this leaves more air from your case's intake for your hardware). Also, if you are still using the stock tri-cools I say replace them. There are a lot better alternatives with higher CFM and quieter db's

The only stock I am using is the 140mm on top. It moves about 94CFM <.< I moved my side panel fan to bottom of my case and it works way better at cooling. More direct air flow to my GTX260
