Currently my PC has the following specs:
Case: P400S TGE
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i AIO with 2 Noctua NF A14 fans as intake
2 stock fans pushing out

I am about to get a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming card, but I'm afraid that I might not have enough airflow orr it would be too loud with just those intake fans. So far I've been running a GTX 1050 Ti fine though, with CPU load temps of 65 C and GPU around 70 C. Do I need more intake fans and which 140mm static pressure fans would be good? Thanks.

As long you can get airflow really moving, your cooling for your 1070 should be fine. You can either choose to have negative pressure, where there are more fans as exhaust than intake, positive pressure as opposite. Most people prefer negative pressure, since it gets rid of hot air easier, where in positive pressure, there would be 'dead spots' where hot air may gather in the case. However, it will be harder to keep it dust free.

As far as negative and positive pressure goes, I think it just comes down to personal preference.

Any reason you need Static pressure fans?

Also just a quick side question, not trying to hijack your thread ;-) As I have the same H115I cooler as you, are those noctua fans good and more important are they more silent than the stock SP140 fans because those are so noisy and resonant, driving me nuts.
