Is the Corsair 460X's stock fan setup good enough?

I'm going to use the Corsair 460X as my case but I've noticed that although it has three fans at the front it doesn't have any on the back or top.

I'm building my PC on DinoPC and I've selected another fan that I will ask to be installed on the back as an exhaust fan but I wanted to know if this was necessary.

Please, fully read the question and make sure that your answer actually answers it before you post it. Thanks :)

Oh so Dino is building this case. If that's the case, you have no worries then. The rear fan should be plenty as an exuast. No need to worry about anything. The push/pull method is fans on both sides of the radiator, but they will probably use the two two fans to mount the radiator.

TL;DR Everything is fine, you are good to go.

When you say that should be enough do you mean the stock fans or the stock fans with the exhaust?

What balance is the rear fan keeping?

I dont know about the radiator, its getting built and then sent to me. Why?

What do you mean pull/push with the front fans?
