I am assuming everybody has thier own say on this, But should the fans be blowing the air from inside the case out, Or should they be suckin air in? I have read they should suck in and i have also read they should blow out.

It's about creating air flow. In your case the 2 in front should be sucking in, the 2 in back should be blowing out and the one in the side window could go either way. I'd just switch it around and see which way gets you the cooler temperature.
There are tons of do-it-yourself guides out there, but a lot of them like to make it more complicated than it really is. They also tend to do a lot of nay saying and doom projection in an effort to intimidate first timers, for what reason I can't say. The hardest thing to install, in my opinion, is the cpu/heatsink. However, the documentation that comes with it should be more than adequate to get you through it. If you have any skill whatsoever in assembling
anything (furniture, children's toys, craft projects) then you shouldn't have any trouble getting your rig together.
I keep saying it, but really, a lot of common sense will go a long way and a little confidence doesn't hurt.
By the way,
here's a slighty better and more recent do-it-yourself guide if you're interested.
good luck
