Hi my case has 2 intake fans and one blow-out fan, i just bought a new fan as there is a slot for another at the top i was wondering if it would be better for intake or blow-out
 
Solution
To expound on the correct comments above, the why is also important.

We want to move air through the case, not just blow it around inside.
Cool air in the front (and maybe side)
Hot air out the back and top.

Hot air rises. If the top were blowing in, it is merely blowing the hot air back inside.
