Will using a Low Profile CPU cooler in my ATX case affect the airflow in my case - 2 front intakes, 1 rear exhaust, 1 top exhaust - and how would that compare to a price equivalent larger air cooler

It won't affect the overall airflow much.

All you really need to investigate is whether it cools enough at a sufficiently low noise for you.

The Cryorig H7 is a fairly inexpensive cooler that is suitable for most CPU's.

(low profile doesn't necessarily save money, in fact some are more expensive in terms of price vs cooling)

You'd also want to setup your fan control software for the motherboard.
