Push pull is where you decide to mount your fans on a radiator, if you put them on one side you're pulling air through the radiator and out the other side, if you mount them the other way, you will push air through the radiator and out the other side. Now whatever option you may choose, the cooling power remains the same, but you'll still have a dust build-up and if you use push, then you'll most likely have to remove the fans to get rid of most of the dust while with the pull method, most of the dust will have accumulated on the other side where the air is being pulled through, meaning that you can just vacuum it off and not have to dismount anything.

I've heard somewhere that pulling (out) works..

And the OP is confusing push-pull with positive or negative case pressure.

if you'd have read the OP carefully, he's talking about having the fan "push" air out the case, or "pull" air into the case.

That's positive and negative air pressure, that's what we call it when someone says push or pull it's the fan orientation on a radiator.

positive or negative is the total result of all case fans (including the power supply fan, technically), the correct term would be intake or exhaust, but quite honestly push or pull would do the trick as well if you're capable of reading an entire post.

Keep the fan as exhaust. Do you have the ability to add a fan to the bottom near the GPU even if you have to MacGyver it?

I'm not saying that it doesn't work, obviously the OP didn't know and we were able to understand him, the point is, that GENERALLY, this is how we refer to them, and what I was discussing with another gentleman was that there was a benefit to having a pull setup on your rad over a push one, that's it. And now I'm done.
