I am building a new pc soon, but I am completely new to setting up air cooling systems that will keep my temps low and safe.

My setup will be:
i7-6700k
MSI z170A
GTX 1070
EVGA SuperNOVA 750w 80+

in a Corsair 300R case. I plan on using a hyper 212 for my heatsink. What fans do I need and how should I set them up as intakes and exhaust (where on the outside of the case) in order to keep my system temps low, esp with a card like the 1070?

Thank you

I doubt it, if you only have one 1070 you have to keep in mind the 1070 doesn't use a lot of power TDP. I believe it is 150W TDP. In my computer I have just the single rear fan, no front intakes and I have no issues keeping everything cool with a 120W TDP graphics card and a 95W TDP CPU.

Should you feel you need more fans later you can always buy them then. Once you have the front and rear fans I'd suggest if you need them a bottom intake fan if your case supports it and 1 top fan.

You should have one exhaust fan on the back of the computer at about the location of the CPU Heatsick.
You want 1 or if possible 2, front intake fans located close the the ground.

The 300R comes with a rear exhaust fan and a front 140mm intake fan already installed. It does have room for one more front intake 140mm fan.

So even with the heat from especially the 1070, I won't need any top exhaust or side intake fans?
