The below image is my chosen fan set up for the NZXT S340 Elite case. I have specifically chosen the rear and top fans which come with white rings to compliment the theme.

1. Would this configuration be good for positive pressure to keep dust out. I'm not sure if its better to have both the top and rear exhaust fans matched at 120mm each or with the configuration shown in the image (140mm top, 120mm rear)

2. Would you recommend purchasing 2 front in-take fans instead of the kraken X62 stock fans? My PC will be placed on the table, about 3 feet away to my right and if these stock fans are loud I would prefer quieter static fans. If stock replacement is the way to go, which fans would you beest suggest for performance and quietness?

3. Any other comments/recommendations would be most appreciated

It should have some positive pressure as your intakes are larger on the whole than the exhausts. I would try out the stock fans and see what you can do with them as far as noise. I think you'll be okay. Those corsair fans you chose are okay, but I would chose the high pressure, quiet version as they push more air (and noise, but you can control the speeds). Nice looking build, by the way, itll destroy games and content creation.
 
This isn't really positive air pressure, more like neutral, you would have to push some serious air thru for 20mm to make a difference. Oh, and about the loudness, I would get some sp120s with the white ring, so they will match. Idk why you are thinking about this so much, if it's loud, get quite fans, dust? Get more air pressure, it doesn't matter to much. I say do whatever besides negative air pressure, IMO

If the rear and top fans are plugged into the CHA_FAN headers, can the speeds be controlled?

When you say get more air pressure, can you recommend best fans for this job as I can change the stock ones for the intake
