I'm looking at getting the Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M ATX Mid Tower Case, it comes with two fans and I will be using a corsair AIO which comes with two fans on its own, I was thinking about placing the stock fans as exhaust fans and using the corsair fans as intakes, would this be ok or would I get bad air pressure/flow

Sounds fine, there may be slight negative pressure due to the radiator limiting some airflow but it should be fine

Also depends on the speed of the fans, but more than liekly at stock settings there would be some negative pressure. A fan tuning could easily fix this
