HI I was wanted to get basic input with airflow scheme of my case. My computer is a basic case setup up as shown below. Fan1 blows air into the comp and Fan2 sucks air out. Is airflow scheme proper or should I change it to both fans blowing air in or change it in another way. Thanks for the help.

If the two fans are at the bottom then you're only getting airflow at the bottom..

Thats the only place I can put them. My main question is should they both be blowing air in or should one be blowing air out and the other in?

i have tried with all fan blowing into the case, the result is actually surprising, the temp actually get higher due to the hot air trapped and circulate around the case, so i suggest a blow in and blow out.

Does it make a difference which one of the two blows air out and which one blows air in?

from my experience, front should be blow in, and back blow out, afterall all the hot air is exhausted to the back of the case.

A basic case setup has an exhaust fan at the back at the top (right below the PSU). Why do you not have that?
That exhaust fan is a critical part.

In the very old computers, the PSU fan could have been the only exhaust fan. But, in those old computers, the amount of heat generated was much less than today's PCs.

Are your both fans in front or is one at the back and one in front?
Or, are your fans on the side panel?
