Is it bad having 1 intake and 4 exhaust fans?

Hey guys, I'm just starting on my first build, and I've just noticed I have a strange ratio of case fans.

I have the Zalman z11-plus case, which can hold seven fans in total - 2 120mm exhaust at the top, 1 120mm exhaust at the rear, 2 80mm exhaust on the sides and 2 120mm intake fans on the front and bottom, as well as the PSU fan.

However, I only have a single 120mm exhaust fan at the top, and because my PSU is slightly longer, I'm not able to install the 120mm intake at the bottom either.

This results in my system having a total of 1 intake and 4 exhaust fans. I know this is not ideal, but I would just like to know if this is actually bad and has a negative impact on the build.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention that the 2 80mm exhaust fans on the side are not interchangeable, so I can't reverse the fan to make them intakes.

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that the two 80mm fans aren't reversable, because the side panels of the Zalman z11 actually has vents that cover the 80mm fans, thus not making them ideal for intake.
