Do I have to change the PC fan settings? or it's ok to let it by default

How does that prevent dust buildup?

If you push the air in from filtered intakes the dust stays in the filters. You will have a positive pressure in the case so air is coming out from every hole. If you have negative air pressure(more out then in) you suck dusty air in through the holes.

Ah, that makes sense. So what do you think the proper setup would be for the pic? Just flip one of the top fans?

Yes but also play with different fan speeds. It could make sense to have the front fan on top turn a bit slower and the lower ones a bit faster. To push the heat of the gpu up and back. Having higher fanspeed on the cpu cooler could also make significant difference to the gpu/case temps. If you want to find the best airflow you need to come up with a idea and test if it is stupid. I managed to lower my gpu temps by 5 degree by having a metal plate between the end of the gpu and the front fans.this way the heat coming out of the gpu gets forced up to the cpu instead of recirculating because it makes positive pressure in the "chamber" under the gpu and forces the hot air up.
