Hello I've been trying to do some research about case fans before I start my build and it seems everyone has a different opinion. Positive vs negative pressure. Where not to put what etc. I watched 1 video of someone putting 2 intakes on top for example but the next video said never have a intake blowing air down on your gpu...

I have a Deepcool Tesseract SW it has lots of nooks and crannies so I think positive pressure will be good (guessing I am a beginner) It comes with 1 pre installed intake at the front and exhaust in the back it has room for two fans on top and two side fans.

As for the build it's a low-mid end gaming rig I won't be overclocking or upgrading anytime soon so should I even bother putting additional fans in?

Build
I5 4590
Asrock h97m pro4
8gb ram
R9 285
240gb SSD
1TB HDD

Thanks for taking your time to read and reply

Why not read the guide http://www.deepcool.com/download/pdf/Tesseract_UserGuide.pdf and follow the recommendations in section 11? They built the case and therefore they know what's best. Since heat rises, top fans should always be outlet. The case can be pressure balanced by using 6 identical 120mm fans. Positive pressure usually provides a slightly cleaner case since not as much dust can enter the case. With your build, at most I would install 2 inlet and 2 outlet 120mm fans.
