Where to mount a AiO

Hey guys so lately I am a bit concerned about my temps with that GTX 970 ... 

So what I was thinking, if I get an AiO where do I mount it? At top as an exhaust or in the front as an intake?

Would'nt the temps be better when it directly gets fresh air from outside? Or is that not much of a diference?

My Builts:

My Rig:
AMD FX 8320 | MSI 970A-G43 | Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | TR HR-02 Macho | 2x4GB G.skill RipjawsX | Samsung 840 EVO 256GB | Seagate Barracuda 2TB | CoolerMaster B600 | NZXT H440
Friends Rig:
Intel XEON E3 1231v3 | ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Killer | Sapphire Radeon R9 280X TriX OC | TR HR-02 Macho | 2x4 GB G.skill RipjawsX | Samsung 850 Pro 256GB | Seagate Barracuda 2TB | CoolerMaster V650SM | NZXT Phantom 530
Planned Upgrades in my Rig:
CPU: i7 4790k or XEON E3 1276 v3 or even a Broadwell CPU | Mobo: MSI Z97S SLI Plus | CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken x61 or another 280 Rad AiO

Fresh air from outside would make a difference. Where it would be mounted depends on your case and the layout of other parts.

What are you current temps?

How would that prevent you from being able to oc?

If the tubing allows you should mount it at the front of the case.
