Honestly, you’d be doing yourself a favor by mounting the PSU above the GPUs instead of right on top of the CPU. If you stick it over the processor, that power supply is just going to end up sucking in all the hot air being exhausted from the 120mm fan behind the CPU, which isn't exactly great for cooling efficiency. Plus, giving the processors a little more breathing room for better airflow wouldn't hurt either.
You really ought to look at component layouts similar to what you'd see in a Home Theater PC, like a
something like this (though IMO, the execution here is kind of subpar):
A much cleaner setup, though it does demand a bit more real estate:
And then there's a third option—putting the PSU above the graphics cards. That could actually work quite well, provided you have a taller case to accommodate it (I couldn't track down a decent photo for 😁 ):
