"Building" first PC | Fan / AIO Assistance

Hello! As you can tell from the title, I'm building a new PC. I say "building" in quotations because I started with a prebuilt and eventually upgraded all the parts, so this is my first time building a PC from scratch. Currently, I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up my fans. I've had two different people recommend mounting my AIO on the top of the case. However, I also have a friend who's been building computers just as long who says the AIO should go in the front. I currently have two sets of Thermaltake CT140 fans, but one pack is reverse blades (I accidentally ordered the wrong ones). I'm trying to figure out the best place for my AIO — top or front? And with that, where should my fans go, would kt be best for me to use the reverse fans and pull air in? Or use the standard CT140's to push air out

Ic any of it matters because of heat that its going to produce here's the specs

Case: Montech X5

Motherboard: ASUS X870

CPU:Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU:3060 12GB
