Hello forum.
TL;DR - What is the best fan configuration for the enthoo pro?
Current build plan: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3tyPQ7

Long version:
I am about to purchase the parts for my first PC. The case is the phanteks enthoo pro.

I am currently planning on getting the following fans:
3 x rosewill hyperborea 140mm

1 x rose will hyperborea 120mm
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-case-fan-rocf11003
Now the 120 is going to be used on the rear as exhaust with an h60 CPU cooler.
My question is what is the best fan configuration? I was planning to use all the hyperboreas as out-takes on the top but that would leave me with extreme negative pressure and I'm looking for something a little more balanced. (Unless that is o.k. in your opinion)
If you recommend more/less fans feel free to say so.
Thank you in advance!
Side note: If the description is all lopsided it is because I typed it all on my phone.

The case comes with sufficient airflow as is with its 200mm front and 140mm rear. Since you are using the H60 cooler, you could move the rear fan to the top if you want, or make the cooler push-pull. But all those extra fans are unnecessary. But if you just like a lot of fans and noise, put them wherever you like as long as you follow the rule...
Intake: front, bottom
Exhaust: top, rear
