The FRACTAL DESIGN Define R4 case will be laid down and now when the other components are known what should be the air flow inside the case?

I am thinking for 2 exhausting on the top, 1 exhausting on the bottom, 1 exhausting on the back and 2 intake on the front. Again, the case will be laid down on its right side.
