Unless your fans are high amperage most motherboards can support two fans per header using a simple fan splitter like this:

I might suggest though that your needs are excessive and likely counterproductive.

Your case supports three 120mm front intake fans which are supplied.
That should be sufficient intake air capability for any cpu and graphics card combination.
If all your intake is from one source and filtered, your case will stay cleaner.
Keep the supplied 140mm fan at the rear for airflow direction.

If you add any other fans, they will tend to draw in unfiltered air from adjacent openings.
At the very least, try the supplied fans before you try to fix a problem you are unlikely to have.

Pretty is as pretty does.
The key to a clean case is positive pressure.
That means that all of the intake air comes from ONE source and is filtered.

You really need no exhaust since all the air that enters from one source will exit somewhere, taking heat with it.
I like a small 120mm fan in the rear mostly so that the airflow gets directed past the tower type air cooler.

I can't argue aesthetics; I am talking only about function.

Also, more fans means more cost and higher noise.

YOU need to determine what is most important to you.
