I'm looking to overclock my i5 2500k on my P8Z68-V/GEN3 Motherboard. I'm planning on buying the Corsair H60. My case is the NZXT phantom 410, details on case can be found here.
I'm wondering what fan setup to have, which to set as intake and which to exhaust for optimal cooling. Currently have the default 120mm fan as intake on front and 120mm as exhaust on back and 140mm exhaust on top. I can buy any extra fans if necessary.

Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)
If you need any more details please let me know.
 
From what I have heard, the Scythe Gentle Typhoon is a great fan for a push and pull setup.
 
I've tried to find an absolute definition of a push pull setup. Can it just be any number of fans set to intake and exhaust. Or is push/pull more specific with how it works? Forgive my lack of knowledge, I'm new to all this. :)

Push pull would be having your radiator sandwiched between 2 fans, one pushing into the rad and one pulling away from it.

Ah right, I see. Thanks for clearing that up! So do the rest of the case fans not matter? How many are intake and how many are exhaust? Is this push pull system really neccesary?
