You have two options with two fans.
Pushing cool air into the case.
Pulling hot air out of the case.
I like to push cool air from outside over the fins of my radiator and into the case.

Well, i also like or prefer to do that, i have fans for pulling air out anyway, but honestly speaking, i don' know the direction of push or pull, so only by photo i can understand it, so here are the 2 ways of doing it, which one is the pushing and which one is pull?

Let's clarify things a little bit...
The "push" and "pull" therms are related to the fan setup on the radiator - if fans are pushing the air toward the radiator = "push"; when the fans are pulling away the air, that's the "pull"...
Now, if you want to describe the direction of the airflow regarding the case, you us the terms "intake" and "exhaust" - "intake" = the air goes into the case; "exhaust" = the air goes out of the case...
You don't mix these terms! It will create a big time confusion...
Regarding the original question... I like the setup, HiVizMan suggested - have the fans as intake (regarding the case) and push (referring to the radiator)... that way you can have the coolest air going through the radiator and the fans are more efficient to push the air through the radiator then if you would setup them in a pull config... (higher density rads does not like the pull config)
For this intake/push configuration, the order should be from top down: top of the case - fans (airflow direction downward) - radiator...
