Need help Lian Li PC-08 Build

Hi,
 
I'm new to this LTT forums, but been watching a lot of LTT videos since before. Then just lately I found myself trying to build my gaming RIG but still a newbie to it. Can you help me out, coz I'm planning to get this same Lian Li PC-08 case but not sure with the airflow it has, so basically:

1. I will use Swiftech H220 X2 AIO as my CPU cooler, and since it has this mounted reservoir I need to mount it on top of case which fans I plan to replace to Noctua NF-F12s
2. I'll get 2 GTX 980 Ti ROG Matrix 6GB use them in SLI
3. I'm getting an E-ATX ROG Maximus VIII Extreme MoBo
4. I have no other liquid cooled components so the 1 fan at the back, the other two at the back 2nd compartment, and the 3 other in front would all be probably replaced by some LED fans either Sliverstone APs or BitFenix Spectres

Now, I'm actually confused whether its fine to use PC-08's original airflow arrangement with this setup, or should I change it? or basically PC-08's cooling performance isn't really for air cooled GPUs? I absolutely love this case's design, but I'm a bit worried about the cooling.
 
I'm happy to hear suggestions and better if benchmarks as long as I know I wont be destroying my components. Thanks :)

Actually, I've got an idea although this may sound ridiculous, I'm planning:
1. to use the rear 2nd compartment fan at the hard drive cage be intake
2. to make the 3 fans in front to suck out air from the rear 2nd compartment fan then let that air bounce of to the front to provide more cool air (this is the ridiculous part)
2. make the 1st compartment rear fan be exhaust as well as the 2 top fans which sits above a radiator.

Would that be fine? or just plainly impossible?
