Using AIO as the only air intake (Phanteks Evolv)

Thinking about changing my H440 out for the below when it's released but I'm worried about moving away from my H440.

I'm currently running a H110i GTX as my cpu cooler and it's nicely tucked away on the top of my H440 pushing air out of my case. Now if I upgrade sticking this AIO at the top of the Evolv ATX is going to over hang my motherboard and more importantly the AIO I'm also using on my Titan X Hybrid GPU which I plan on stick at the rear to exhaust air out.

So this bring me to my question, the H110i would stick nicely at the front of the Phanteks case (if it fits???) but how well will it work as the main air intake for the case. Will the air be to warm and fill the case up with warmish air and is there even enough airflow to cool my GPU AIO at the back of the case?

Suppose I could use the top to mount fans blowing air in the case, just thinking out loud?

Will there be space for a 280mm Rad plus 4X140mm in push/pull config in the front of the case? I'm guessing the bottom front slot will have to be removed to allow access to the bottom front end of the case?

Good point about having everything exhausting out, maybe this could also be an option but I'm thinking the case will be starved of air to exhaust so to speak.

Top 140mmX2 fan blowing cool air in will surely help the AIO of the GPU but I guess that only leave's one exit for all the warm air.

Guess it's best to play with different options but if I can get the right config first it will save a lot of swapping around.
