First pc build i have a deepcool dukase v2. Fan options are
1x 120 exhaust rear
2x 120/140 top
2x 120/ 1x 140 front
How many fans and where and should i go with neutral, positive or negative air pressure?

2 at the front and 1 at the back should be your basic setup and that's positive pressure. You can add one at the top back but that's rarely needed, as heat rises and air will exhaust in that direction naturally. If you feel your it's not exhausting properly for whatever reason you can add it in later.
I prefer positive pressure personally because I control where air comes in and set a filter there, rather than it leaking in from every corner with no filtering but everyone has a different answer so it's a preference.
