Yes, heat is not an instant transfer from your copper/aluminum heat sink to air. Think about it, does a stove instantly become heated when you turn it on? No, it takes time for the heat to run through the coil of a standard stove. Heat transfer on direct contact of two metallic objects is the best but air really isnt so good at it. Thus water cooling with an active but slow water pump and a radiator to actually cool the water.

Sources?! Uhhh, my name is nemo not google. I dont do other peoples homework. You can look into the airflow diagrams available though. The idea is that air comes in from the front and exhausts to the back. If you put this in an enclosed space with the places your pulling and exhausting, its going to loop. Pushing hot air out the side so it can then be pulled back in through all venting does nothing but cook your system. I cant give you the years of my building computers as a http link. Nor can i link you the couple of articles i wrote for maximum pc because i doubt they were posted online and its from like five years ago now.

I will point out that although no one has mentioned the thermodynamics of your case, its sound in principle but depending on where your case is going to end up and how the side case fans line up with your GPU/CPU ... they can be pointless other then for shiny lights and added workload on your PSU.

EDIT: This should be a good starting point. Enjoy.
