Should I add cooling to my existing case for this AM5+GTX 4070 build?

Hello all. I'm slowly getting there on a ~£1000 budget build which will likely be a Ryzen 7600X and Geforce 4070. I'm going to put it in my existing case which is a Thermaltake Versa H15 Window M-ATX.

The case has no additional fans currently, but sits in my desk cupboard with a 120mm PWM fan wired to exhaust out of the back, together with an AC Infinity MULTIFAN S2 that sits on top of the case (on a top grill), sucking up air out and exhausting towards the cupboard exhaust fan as pictured.

The case has 120mm slots on the front and rear that I could utilise, so my question is do you think it worth adding an intake fan to the front grill of the case, and a rear fan to help the exhaust as well?

I know none of you serious gamers/overclockers are going to like it being in a cupboard, but I really wanted a clean desk look. And I don't game that often and even more rarely during the summer to be honest. I'd love to get fans that only spin up when necessary, so that's anything that's PWM right? The AC Infinity fan is usb-powered so that's always on at 17dB and it's not too bad to be honest. As I'm always listening to music or gaming with headphones.

TIA :)
