Warm AIO air into the case?

Waddup guys.

So as im building my new pc, i was terrified that i have 140mm rad, and my case doesnt support it. But i woke up, and saw something written on the box, that you can get eighter 2x120mm fans for intake,(front), or 1 140mm  fan. I was thinking that if i mount my rad in the front, i'd have no intake fans, because the air is blowing out. But i realised i can direct an airflow.Air like outside the case, fan pulls that air to inside the case, through radiator, and into the case goes mildly warm air. Or i can have it exhaust and it would be no intake fans. Which scenario should i go with? Im currently sitting right next to my cooler thinking what to do with it.



TL:DR; No intake fans, or intake thru AIO cooler radiator?

 

Waiting for replies.

120 and 140 difference is like 16 euros here, but 140 and 240 is like 50 :(. BTW i already unpacked it so its not worth original price, and i dont think retailers would pick it
