How should I do this? Where should the hot and cold air go?
The CPU fan blows upward, and the GPU fans blow toward the side, over the motherboard.
If your cpu's fan is blowing upwards then having the top fans as exhaust would be best. The typical method would be front and bottom as intake, rear and top as exhaust.
One on the left, hot air rises. It's basic science. Also more output fans is more important than intake.
who fucking cares? it takes 15 seconds to switch the direction. do whatever you want you child
or call geeksquad. in either case fuck off

Uh no. You're want more intake fans to create a positive pressure environment.
OP. Have as many intake fans as possible, and leave the two on top of case as outtake. This creates a positive pressure environment where hot air (which also naturally goes up) is forced into the cooler environment from the positive pressure, thus maximizing airflow.
One on the front, no exhaust as it literally makes really few difference while adding a lot of noise

this is mickey mouse shit. the diagram on the left is fine, especially if your cpu blows up and the heat from your gpu will go sideways then up anyways. Supplement the laws of convection.

You should also turn the CPU fan around so it blows down instead.

You're stupid as fuck. Having too many intake fans means you struggle to pump air in and hardly any air leaves...... the inverse of sucking too hard is a better option because it will pull air from every crack and crevice including the intakes... which means the throughput of air will be higher.... the best option is to have it as balanced as possible...
the old thing about hot air rising doesn't matter in a closed system.... if you're forcing air through it... the hot air goes through it... up down left right doesn't fucking matter... that's why a lot of setups nowadays actually vent out at the bottom so the inside of the case doesn't become a giant dust trap....

if you have hot exhaust going against a wall, or inside an enclosure, then the heat gets trapped there anyway, effectively ruining your cooling scheme

It becomes a giant dust trap when the case starts sucking in air through the non filtered cracks due to negative pressure.
Negative pressure = dust
Positive pressure = no dust (if you have dust filters over the intakes).
In positive pressure, the cracks vent air instead of sucking air like in negative pressure
