I just bought a new case for my first build so Im thinking with a system that will low the temparature inside the case. A case that I'm having is Phanteks Eclipse P400, and so the question is it good for me to install 240mm radiator on front and has it fan as intake and 2x140mm case fan on top as exhaust and 1x120mm case fan on rear as exhaust?

Any advice or any other system for cooling system will be appreciated. For further the information I will not overclock my cpu.

As you people might have known that on the top of chassis it is included with a removeable dust filter, so is it bad to put an exhaust fan on the top or should I just remove a dust filter when it turn on and put it back when it off? And also will in this cooling system build clog more dust or even less?

Rule of thumb in case airflow is as follows: front and bottom - intake, top and rear - exhaust.

With your fan setup, (2 in, 3 out) you should achieve negative pressure and thus have better cooling than positive pressure. Downside is that more dust can enter your system. But when you mount your case at least 15 inches from the floor, you can reduce the dust intake up to 80%.

Also by putting an additional 120mm fan on bottom front and making it a natural pressure, will this do any good for dust matter?

Neutral pressure does reduce dust intake. Though, you can eliminate the dust problem by covering all case openings with good filters. I've done so on my Skylake build (specs in my sig). Bought an aftermarket Demciflex filter set for my Corsair 760T and so far, my system's components have been completely dust free.
