this sounds about right.
OP, i would go either way but i would recommend you have an exhaust fan/s in the top part of your case IMO you should have some sort of exhaust fan

make 'em all intake (filtered of course) and let the roof vent or exhaust it all out..
will give a lil positive pressure to keep the dust bunnies out..
or remove all the unused pci slot covers (vented , meshed or plain) to let
the GPU stay cool.

try fast for a while.. test and retest.. then set to slow.. and again test and retest.
if all fans are intake, remove any pci slot covers that arent being used (even if
slotted, vented or mesh)
