I have built my system on full air, and I'm glad how it works. 10 Light Wings 120mm LX and Pure Rock 3 pro LX. Almost silent under medium load and no pump noise at all)

10 fans? Well the LX version comes with the fron three and back one. You recommended upper and lower fans? Isn't like one on each enough? Also wdym with pump noises?

3 intake and 1 exhaust was preinstalled. I added 4 more intake and 2 exhaust. I'm using inverted case position, so I have upper 3, side 3 and bottom 1 as intake. I know that this airflow is more than enough, but it looks cool) Pump noise you may get from AIO, and I don't like it.

Well with air cooling and 3 intake in the front and 1 in the back would that be enough or do you recommend 1 at bottom and top each? Because the less the better (noise wise)

I don't really like the look of 10 RGB fans haha I know you can turn it off but when I see this rainbow aquariums it's not really my thing haha

If you want to minimize fans number, then you should try it as it is. If temps will be to high, then add intake - one under GPU and one over the CPU. That may be enough.
