Phanteks P400 Case Air Flow Good or Bad?

Hi all! I am planning on buying the Phanteks P400 but it is troubling how the case only has two small air intakes on the front panel. Will this be sufficient if I have 3 Fans in the front as intake and 2 at the back/top of the case for exhaust.

 

My specs

Mobo: Asus Prime-B350 Plus
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: Asus Dual Fan 1060 6GB

 

I really like the look of the case and the fact that it comes with RGB light strips. Any thoughts or opinions appreciated!

Thanks!

I have 2 builds in P400 cases. The front intake is a little restrictive but not to bad. I have 2 120mm intake fans in the front, 2 120mm exhaust fans in the top, 1 120 mm exhaust in the rear and I have my psu flipped with the fan facing up so it exhausts out of the case.

These specs are the maximum I'd say were okay to put into the P400, as anything hotter than will and the P400 will not have sufficient airflow. Sadly though, the third front intake fan will get no air what-so-ever due there being no way of it getting external air (the top fans gets all the top intake and the bottom fan gets the bottom intake) 2 intake/ 2 exhaust is still good though, if you can make the two exhaust fans spin a bit slower than the front you'll be okay
