proper fan layout

Greetings.

I need help creating a schematic for a proper fan layout in a computer case. Currently, I have a fan blowing in air, and a fan pushing out hot air, + a CPU Cooler. I would like to get an opinion regarding where I can additional fans to increase air flow and decrease temperature. I would also like to know what fans are recommended to complete this task. Also, should I replace my case fan with a " Papst 12CM Case Fans "; would that make any difference in cooling the case? Buttom line, I need to increase airflow and decrease the temp inside the case. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

most people tend to place intake fans low on the front and side of a computer, and exaust fans higer on the top and back.

heat rises so the exaust fans will do the best work placed high up, and draw cool air in from the front low intake fans.

also it's a good idea to not put an exaust and an intake on the same "face" of your computer as they will tend to "fight" each other for air and possibly even end up cycling the same "old" air in a loop.
