It's down to personal preference really. if you have it at the top, the air that the psu will intake will be from the inside of the case plus it is above the heatsink of the cpu, so it will be getting hotter air than if it were at the bottom, with an intake on the bottom of the case.

Cable management will be similar either way, and all your cables will reach if you get a good psu.
