Does my case have enough cooling?

Hey everyone.
The reason i ask this question is it looks like the way the socket is oriented on the Gigabyte mobo i plan to buy, most all CPU coolers will have the fan blowing either up or down. I was hoping to get it blowing right straight out the back case fan.

I am going to be using an AMD Phenom 9950 BE CPU and may overclock someday. Also plan on having a GTX 260 GPU. I know there may be plenty of heat in there and i just want it to direct enough hot air out of the case to keep everything cool.

It is an Xblade case with 2 80mm fans blowing in and will have 1 120mm fan blowing out. Other than the cpu, gpu, and psu fan, does this sound like it will have enough airflow if the cpu fan is not blowing straight out the back? Is there any other options i have to help the airflow? THX, Jerry.
 
Yeah, it should have enough airflow. I wouldn't worry about anything unless your temps get out of hand.
