Question Help with fan direction

I am having a hard time decieding...if I put a 120mm fan on the top of my case should I have it draw in or drawing out. I figure heat rises and thats the only spot left for heat to trap in. I have 2x 120mm fans pulling in and 1x 120mm fan blowing out exhaust. I have and 80mm blowing in, and a 92mm fan blowing out the back. Two 60mm fans above graphics card blowing in and two 60mm fans cooling ram blowing down on ram. Would it benifit me more to have the fan blow in, or out.

Yeah i third that. In case you dont know, the general rule of thumb for case fans is front and sides intake and top and back exhaust. Man u got a lot of fans so ur PC should be sweet...
