What if I only use 2 fans that comes with the case, and use them in the back and on top, no in the front. How will that go? Better or worse?

the CPU will like it, the GPU will still complain

It's recommended to have as close to neutral pressure as possible. So assuming you have both of the fans exhaust air, it'll likely be worse off than having one fan in the front as intake and one fan as exhaust. By having negative pressure without any intake fans, cool air is being forced into your case from anywhere it can. This will lead to an inefficient use of the fans. General rule of thumb, should have at least 1 intake fan and 1 exhaust fan in your case.
