How many fans for Enthoo Pro case?

Rough build above, but my goal is to create positive pressure and provide good cooling assuming I may do some light overlocking in the future (I don't plan on pushing it to any crazy limits). The case comes with a 200mm fan and 140mm fan. My two ideas were:

 

Option 1: 2x 140mm front intake; 1x 200mm top exhaust.

Option 2: 2x 140mm front intake and 1x 120 or 140mm bottom intake; 1x 200mm top exhaust and 1x 120 or 140mm rear exhaust.

 

Is option 2 overkill, or necessary? Either way, the power supply would be mounted on the bottom facing down, drawing air in and out the back independant of the rest of the setup. Any better recommendations overall are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

I would just do 1x200mm in front,

1x140mm in back,

face CPU cooler fan backwards, pushing air towards exhaust.

Passive exhaust top.

At most, I'd add a bottom intake and keep the 200mm intake and 140mm rear exhaust
