No there shouldn't be a problem with the air blowing out...

It is best if you keep the CPU as near to the Intel TCase temperature of 67.4°C but perfectly fine to go above this to between 75°C and 80°C when gaming etc.
In answer to the cooling fan arrangement, for effective case cooling you should have where possible an induction fan at the front of the case to draw in cool, clean air + a rear chassis exhaust fan to expel the hot air from inside the case, any other top/side fans etc are a bonus but many are aesthetic only with their nice colored LEDs etc, good cable management also helps keep things cooler as it reduces turbulence inside the case.
I believe that you can get both a front and rear fan in your case can you not.

I can tell you, the back fan is blowing in, the side fan is blowing in, and the top fan is blowing out. As for the front fan, I don't know if I can get one in there. Wire management is actually quite hard due to the amount of wires coming from my PSU that I don't use (I thought about cutting them off a few times but I can not fathom how stupid it would be) and their length. They over did the wires on it in my opinion. I have them zip tied and stuffed in the front where the HDD/Optical drives and the front fan would go since it's an empty void from only have 1 HDD and 1 optical drive. All but probably 2 wires are routed out of the way of the side and front fans.
You stated "It is best if you keep the CPU as near to the Intel TCase temperature of 67.4°C but perfectly fine to go above" is below this temp, good?
My Case: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811144076 the reviews are bad for it but I have not had any issue with it other than having to move the top fan from the inside to the outside because the PSU was too big to fit in the slot provided with the fan inside.

Internal cooling would be more efficient if a rear chassis fan was blowing out the same as the PSUs cooling fan.I can tell you, the back fan is blowing in
A good software that works well with many brands of MB http://event.msi.com...er/download.htm helps with monitoring temps etc.
I took a look at your case specs earlier and thought I could see room for a chassis fan at the front of the case, see attachment below (is it an optical illusion on my behalf again )

I actually have Afterburner on my PC. It came with my 5770 graphics card. I never knew what it was or what it did so I never touched it. It's just taking up space on my PC. I thought it was an overclocking software.

Afterburner is a tweaking tool but is also used for monitoring temps and such pretty much like Speedfan but more advanced and in depth.

I seen that as well. I went and looked at that same picture after you asked about it in your previous post. There is only two problems with this, I don't think there is any vent in the very front outside of the case... I will have to check this when I get home from work tonight and all my wires are stuffed in that space since there is so much volume of them taking up space. I will take pictures of it later tonight when I get home and check. I will also reverse the fan to blow out. The PSU is blowing in and the rear fan is directly below it blowing in to the hardware, I can see how this would cause some heating problems. I have no way of making the PSU fan blow outside the system unless I remove it, drill holes in the case and flip the PSU over to the upside down position. Flipping the rear fan will help get that heat out, I am sure!

You have another option,which is used quite frequently in the South Pacific,i have talked to Techs in Thailand and have seen gamers do this as well...to vent more heat just take the side panel off...Just don't let any pets and or children around the pc like this ...........

I am not concerned with the temps anymore since you advised me that my temps were good. I just wanted to make sure that 98F was not too hot. Thank you both for your help!

Two things I learned today. One, the other side panel is simply screwed in and can be easily removed to access the space behind the motherboard which allowed me to better adjust and store the cables out of sight as much as possible! Two, the metal edges inside are VERY sharp and I actually have a few cuts now.
Anyways, Phillpower2, I feel everyone has the right to see the monster they helped create. All pictures were taken today, after I went inside and did everything stated above. Here it is!
Side panel before redoing the wires.
Behind the front panel where the LCD temperature display is, behind the spot for front fans.
All the wiring, redone. I now see the dust I completely missed on the rear fan!
Zip tied and neatly as possible placed wires stored the expansion bays.
Better view of the hardware. See the fan at the top, that is the one I had to mount on the outside because the PSU was too long.
And finally, my setup, after all the work above. The faint glow on the bottom right is my mouse on the charging dock, lit up. Keyboard on the left of course. PC on the far right and of course, my monitor/desktop.
The PC case, tv, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, and optics drive were all parts I already had before building my computer.
The motherboard, RAM, operating system, graphics card, CPU and PSU were all suggested by Phillpower2.
Parts list:
Case: Apevia X-Infinity black steel ATX mid tower with blue LED. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811144076
Graphics: MSI Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1gb http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814127490
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge quad core http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819116504
RAM Sticks: 8GB G. Skill Ripjaw Series 240-PIN SDRAM DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231314
Motherboard: ASROCK Z77 Extreme 4M http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813157294
Power Supply: Corsair TX650 Enthusiast Series http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817139020
Mouse: Razer Naga Epic 17 button gaming mouse http://www.newegg.co...N82E16826153065
Keyboard: Steelseries Merc Stealth http://www.newegg.co...0merc%20stealth
Monitor: LG 42inch LCD 1080P 60Hz connected to PC via HDMI
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
HDD and optic drive (CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive) are the factory items when I originally bought my first PC. I used them in this build since there is nothing wrong with them. Not only is there nothing wrong with them but they are also not worth mentioning. Enjoy
The graphics card I will be getting in a couple weeks. http://www.newegg.co...=02G-P4-2765-KR
