Hey guys, built my pc 2 days ago and i am running a 8320 at stock speeds with a stock cooler. I have one rear case fan sucking air out. I do not have an optical drive. Tomorrow I am going to get a network adapter, a case fan and a optical drive. I am getting the bitfenix spectre 230mm for 4.88$ from 19.99$. I don't know where I should mount the fan or which way I should have it blowing air out or in. Since I have a fan in the back blowing air out of the case, should I put one in the front blowing air into the case? Please help. Thank you!

Ok, but I am not to good with cable management and I have multiple cables near the front will this affect anything, and also will this lower my cpu temps, I run about 28 idle, but i would like it to be even lower.

Cable management won't affect your temps unless you're blocking the airflow.

28 idle is fine. Why do you want to go lower?

Im using a stock cooler and would really want to overclock with it... But everyone tells me not to.

You "can" overclock with a stock cooler but I wouldn't recommend it. Stock coolers are just not designed to dissipate the amount of heat an overclocked cpu will generate.

Even if I upgrade the case fan to a really powerful one like the bitfenix spectre 230mm or do case fans not affect cpus? Also should I only mount it on the front since I have the rear fan bringing air out or are there any other places you would suggest.
