I just ordered 2 120mm fans for the top part of my Cooler Master 431 mid tower case and I'm not sure which way they should face!

Personally, I would put one on the bottom and one in the rear (if your HSF is a side mounted) or top (if your HSF is top-down, such as stock intel HSFs). You want more intake than exhaust or your computer is going to be a dust magnet.

If you were to put any fans on top you want them to be exhaust, yes.

Well hot air rises and you want air to move from the front to the back of the case. That said, fans on the front/bottom will be intake so blowing into the case. Fans on the top/back of the case are exhaust so blowing out of the case. Side panel fans will blow into the case towards the gpu(s). Make sense?
