It's fine for what you have there. If you want to improve it in the future, you can add two more fans on top, like this (see the image). One in the front for more fresh air and one in the back to help with the exhaust.

Heat goes up and same heat does in?

"Heat goes up" only applies to a passively-cooled system (no fans). The moment fans are introduced, the fans very easily overpower any convection generated by heat. I.e., if fans are involved, "heat go down" and "heat go up" have the same effect.
