Cooling NZXT Source 530

[Bkastphame]

I'm building my 1st gaming rig and I have a question about cooling in my NZXT Source 530. I have two 120mm fans that came with the case along with three140mm red led silent Corsair fans and the two 120 mm fans that come with my Corsair h105. How should I mount them for best cooling, and should the fan on my PSU be facing up/down? I plan on OC in the future as well.

Motherboard: MSI gaming 5
CPU: i7 4790k 4.0
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 gig kit DDR3
GPU: MSI GTX 980 4g VRAM
PSU: EVGA Super Nova 850 w

The fan on your PSU should be facing down. The reason for this is because hot air rises. PSUs operate better under colder air, opposed to hotter air. Hot air rises, and cold air sinks. Cold air is more dense than ambient air, so it sinks.

For the fans:

Exhaust: Rear/Top

Intake: Front/Side/Bottom
