DeepCool CH270 Digital with a Noctua-build

Since the Lian Li A3 is on backorder here in Norway and I have a giftcard that's burning a hole in my pocket, I needed to find an alternative. Came across the DeepCool CH270 Digital and was instantly intrigued. But I had some questions that I hope that the hivemind could help me with.

My current setup and the one I want to transplant is a NH-D14-build with an RX7700XT for GPU and an R9-5950X as the CPU. The plan was to slap an NF-A12x25 G2-fan into the bottom and two in the top, and then then vertical-mount the D14 so the airflow goes upwards in the case. Also have some other 120mm Noctua-fans flopping about so was planning to use at least one of those in the side panel in order to feed the D14 more cold air.

The issue, however, is this: Would adding two exhaust-fans above the D14 hurt the airflow going upwards in the case, thus negating the use of the two top fans?

In addition, somewhat worried about the monitor-cables adding quite a bit of stress on the connectors on the GPU, and was thus contemplating using 90-degree adapters to alleviate this. How has others done this?
