Hi Zoviet, wellcome to the Forum,
The best way is to sucks into the case the same air blowed out, but untill you'll take another fan is better put it on the up/back that blow out the hot air.
I hope it helps you ;-) 'dasvidania'

I say have it suck air in through the front. The PSU fan already extracts some warm air. Then there's that positive/negative air pressure thing

I am betting the PSU exhausts air. I would blow cool air in the case, it will go out through the psu and other holes in your case. If thats the only fan you have it is your best bet.
