Hopefully this is in the right category. I'll try and make this simple to understand as well.
Case: Corsair 760T graphite
Cooler: Corsair H100i

I want to make sure I have the fans in optimal directional settings for air flow. Currently the case has 2 fans at the front pulling air in. The cooler is up top, pulling air in as well. I then have one case fan on bottom in front of the power supply pushing air out, and one case fan on the back next to the cpu pushing air out as well. Is this the best configuration for the case fans? Thanks in advance

The last thing you want to do is push hot air in the case. The air in the case is only a couple degrees above ambient room temp and with two more radiator fans exhausting it will cool the interior of the case as well.

If I understand what you are meaning you are saying to blow hot air from the case through the radiator and out the top? From what I understand about air cooler radiators is they perform best with cooler air, like in a car... you wouldn't push hot air from the engine bay of a car into the radiator.. so I believe blowing hot air from inside the case through the radiator is a bad choice. I'm not sure about the relation between ambient case temp versus air temp going through the radiator though, so correct me if I'm wrong.
