I got a new case recently the nzxt s340 and an h100i gt liquid cooler for my i7-4770k and was wondering how u should have my fans set up with my radiator for intake exhaust and if they should face the outside of the case or if the fans should face the inside of the case heres some pictures

Solution
Personally, I would prefer cooling the radiator with outside air rather than warmer case air. As long as you can exhaust the warm air from the radiator and any other heat-producing devices, that would be the way to go. Otherwise you are fighting the the air flow of the graphics card.
I would mount it Case - Fans - Radiator blowing into the case. Like pic 2.
