yup. I would personally prefer two identical LED fans in the front but of course it's completely up to you.

note: no matter how powerful a 5.25" drive bay-modded-fan is, it is pretty much useless in terms of performance. ie, people have reported no difference in temps using it. I would suggest moving it further along the drive bay (towards the back of the case) instead of at the front - less noise and more/faster air hitting the RAM/CPU.
