Is Antec P180 Case is recommended with Corsair HX520W PSU ?

Hi,
I'am in the process of building a silent PC. After research, I found that a very good case is the P180 and a very good PSU is the HX520W. But...
I notice that the 120 mm PSU fan is located at the top (bottom?) of the HX520W. This is different from a fan located at the back of a PSU, as for the ANTEC NeoHE 500 for example.
I'm wondering is the fact the fan is at the top of the PSU is counter productive in the P180 case. It seems that the P180 is design to create an horizontal air tunnel in the bottom of the case. In that perspective, would it be better the have a PSU with a fan at the back that push air in the tunnel direction instead of creating a perpendicular air flow ?
Do this make sense of I'm reading too much review ?
Thanks for your tought and Happy New Year !!
