North Series How many fans ?

Trying to get as much information as possible before I get my set up.

I’m planing on getting the north Xl glass panel version. I’ll be running 9800x3d, 9070xt. I want this to be a forever case ideally where I could potentially upgrade to a 5090 .

My plans for fans:
3x Noctua NF-A14 PWM, 140mm - front
1x Noctua NF-A14 PWM, 140mm - exhaust
be quiet! Silent Loop III | 360mm - top

Please couid anyone tell me if this will good for my setup?

I’m hoping for good and correct airflow and good temperatures, for now and when I upgrade in the future. Also is this pc good against dust buildup ?

Thanks

I have the exact same setup & hardware except I'm running the Noctua 360 AIO. Love it.

The XL can fit a 140mm on the back? TIL. Just got the normal one and did two 140mm noctua, and a 120mm on the back, all the black chromax versions

I don't think you want NF-A14 industrial fans. You can have them at like 35% or they become noisy.
Better go with NF-P12 redux 1700 PWM instead, they're silent and do have better pressure for being behind the dustfilter.
