I'm trying to install a CM TX3 EVO cooler on my AMD processor. There's not much space in the case and I have the choice of either placing it so that the fan is opposite of the PSU (it's at the top of the case unfortunately) or the graphics card. I'm wondering which way should I choose to put it?

Try to exhaust heat out the top and back of your case. If the fan on the PSU draws air from the case and exhausts it outside the case then aim your airflow towards the PSU. Otherwise point the cooler to exhause towards the graphics cars.
