Enough airflow for ITX build?

I'm planning to do an ITX build in the Corsair Obsidian 250D. The plan is to have the 140mm (or alternative upgrade to 200mm) fan doing intake through the front, an MSI Gaming X gtx 1060 6gb pulling air in through the side, a dual-120mm radiator cooling CPU and expelling air out the other side, and two 80mm fans in the back also doing exhaust. I'm worried that this is not enough airflow and I will have thermal problems. If so I will probably make changes to my build that I really don't want to.

Also, what 80mm fans would be good, as well as a 200mm to replace the front one?

i think a 1060 should handle airflow in an ITX just fine.

See how it works before changing anything. Your planned setup sounds fine. As for 80mm fans, you can't go wrong with Noctua. I wouldn't replace 140mm fan with 200mm. It wouldn't be that big improvement that it would matter.
