Hi guys, so i am currently in the works of building my ekstra pc in a Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX case. 
Here is my plans for the air-flow:

(great ps skills ikr.) 
 

 

Will it work? Will it be good airflow? 
 The reason for the two intakes in the top is because i wish them to be LED fans and light up the thing.

I wouldn't use top as intake if it's not filtered. Buy an LED strip (or two) if you want to illuminate the interior.

Either exhaust (only populate one fan mount if so) and have an additional fan in the front, or acquire a filter for the top and stick to your plan.

Failed to notice it's 200mm. No, don't replace it.

that case should have filters up top. If you feel the need to have top intake I would just use the front one, got that gut feeling that the rear one would diminish cooling by creating turbulence and/or pumping air into the exhaust fan preventing it from exhausting hot air properly

Sorry for the inactivity.

Thinking about getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and make it exhaust in the rear. 
 

I will just buy a 120mm 140mm fan to the rear, and leave the 200mm in the front creating an air flow going straigh threw the case. 

(@LoGiCalDrm, also to follow up on your answer @Cyracus.

Thats good. 200mm fan will create enough airflow if you want to get another exhaust fan to top-rear.
