Importance Of Airflow In a Case

I'm planning a really small custom build that'll have a water cooled 780 and probably 3570k.  Aside from probably a 240 rad, there will be virtually no airflow inside the space it'll be in.  Will this be okay?

CPU: i7 6850K | RAM: 64GB 3200Mhz | Mobo: EVGA Micro2 | PSU: EVGA P2 850W | GPU: EVGA 1080 Ti FE

Case: Fractal Design Node 804 | Cooler: NH-D15S

 

Storage: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB, Sandisk Ultra II 960GB

 

OS: Windows 10 | Display: LG 34UM94 & Asus PG279Q

you may want to add at least another 120mm rad,because while the 240 could handle it you'll have around 80+C temps.

Especially if it's only a thin radiator. If it is a. 80mm rad it may be ok but 35-45 won't be.

I haven't picked the radiator yet but I'll keep that in mind.  I may be able to bump it up to a 360 rad if I'm lucky.
