I am a first time builder. My power supply came with two fans blowing out the back and I purchased an additonal fan to mount in the front. Should I position it to blow in through the case (the same direction as the other fans in the back) or out the front. Thanks.

IMHO, mount blowing into case, as this will create airflow in the front and out the back, through PSU, lowering case and PSU temperatures. HTH

Since heat rises your case has a slight air drift from the lower front to the upper back (where the cpu is) as it is. So blow in the front and out the back.

I will also advise you to put some kinda filter in front of your inflow fan so you wont suck in all of the surrounding dust !! It's amazing how dirty mine get just after a month !
