One fan pushes air through the heatsink/rad and the other pulls air through it.

So which means... They have to be facing down?

The position of the fans are relative to the heatsink/rad.

Which means.. I have to put fans facing down?

Which means the top fans are acting as intake? And bottom as exhaust blowing air inside?

It depends on the positioning of the heatsink/rad.

It can face any number of directions depending on orientation.

I'm gonna put the radiator positioned on top of my case with the cords or liquid wires next to the exhaust... Which way should I put it?

It would help to list your specs.

I have 760t.. And so does that mean I don't need the after market thermal paste anymore?

No, you don't need aftermarket paste. 

Put the H105 at the top for exhaust.

Yeah ima put it at the top.. So the air should be going out of the case thru push pull ? And also... Which way is better? Cord on the left near exhaust fan or cord to the right where it touches the rams?

Having the H105 as exhaust means air is exiting the case from the cooler. I would have the cord at the left.

So I'll have all my fans as exhaust . Got you. And why the left side? Any reason for this?

The H105 should be the only thing that's exhausting air out of the case. Every other fan should be intake.

You already mentioned that having the tubing at the right would get in the way of the ram.

I have 2 intake fans in the front, and one intake fan 140 in the back. The case came with these fans in this set up. Should I change the exhaust to intake? And have my h105 be the only thing exhausting fan? I mean I don't mind it touching the rams , just wondering if there was a performance or any difference.

Yes, change the rear fan to intake to better too the motherboard.

Having the tubing face either way won't affect performance.

How about... Make my h105 as intake and + 2 intake in front and my rear 140 as exhaust? Does this work? And should my psu face down or up?

That would blow warm air into the case, make cooling worse for other components, and have dust build up on the top of the case.

Having the psu face down will allow it to be cooled better.
