Hello, 

I have 4 140mm and 1 120mm case fans to use in my P350X case. The stock fan is being used as exhaust and I am using the remainder as intake fans, 2 on top and 2 in the front. 

 

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x with the Wraith Prism cooler and the MSI X570 A Pro motherboard. I plan on buying the 6800 XT or a MSI 3080 Gaming X Trio, both which have triple fans over a finstack as the GPU cooling solution.

 

Is my fan placement the best setup for airflow?

 

Edit: updated future GPU and fans

Yes. Just make sure that the intakes are spinning a bit faster than the exhausts, as keep the air balanced is ideal for bringing in cool air as well as ejecting hot air from the CPU tower and GPU cooler.

I also plan on upgrading my CPU cooler to a Noctua NH-D15S. Would my top rear 140mm fan be interfering with its cooling performance or do I need it to cool the VRM?1068480535_casefanplacement.thumb.png.cffa5e781b7d726127e75461752aa39b.png

I think this layout would still work. The rear 140MM fan shouldn't change the cooling performance of the NH-D15S. I am just not a fan (pun intended) of that solid front panel. 

 

But as @TVwazhere said:
