I really want a decent case for my gtx 1080, i7 6700k ( especially something with brilliant airflow ) and I think of buying nzxt s340. I know it has a big restriction in the front as the panel is completely solid, but I thought, as a solution, to try and drill many tiny holes in a pattern. Would you think this will work ?

intake fans on the front of the Fractal are just going to pull air through those side gills. it should be fine. but if you are worried and like the 450D, get it.

the case still gets airflow from the front, it pulls from that slit in the top, but the fractal has the slits all down each side aswell, and is a very similar looking case. not to mention the fractal has excellent build quality. i regret not buying the define mini c for my build
 
yes, way more than enough. if you live in "hot" climate (your room temperature is 25C or more) i'd recommend adding more fans so you will have at least 2 intake in front and at least 2 exhaust on rear and top (the case comes with only two fans pre installed)
As for the 212 EVO - it's mediocre cooler that is good to cool no overclocked CPUs at relatively low noise.
if you plan to overclock, you'd be better with more advanced coolers like Noctuas NH-D14 or 15

Alright, so if i get the Fractal Design with 4 fans in total, that will keep my i7 6700k, gtx 1080 and other components in a good temperature is that right ?
I really want a good airflow and i am scared that restriction at the front may damage my pc components.

I was also looking at the Corsair 450D ( and keep in mind all i am basically looking in a case is an excellent airflow ).
By the way i am really glad that you guys are helping me, so really ty for that !.
