Hey there, About PSU placement is it ok to have bottom mounted psu face upward rather downward and what are the cons for doing so.

its hard to get a top mounted psu case and i cant have the fan face downward cuz of the carpet, hair etc piling up at bottom

The downside is it will use the air of the case to ventilate itself which isn’t that important but it will also suck in fresh air that is meant for gpu or cpu instead. It’s not a big thing. There are cases though with topsided PSUs, inverted cases for example but also normal ones.
