I just picked up a Tecware VXN Glow M Case that comes with 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan. I originally bought an additional 6 fans for 3 intake and 3 exhaust, but now I feel I overdid it—especially with money being tight. I'm wondering if the stock setup will suffice or if I really need more fans for optimal cooling. Also, what specs am I looking at? Currently, I'm using a Ryzen 5 4650G Pro with a GTX 1650, but I'm planning to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5700X and a 3060 in a few months due to a good deal.

It depends on what you're cooling, but most systems will manage with what you've got. Just remember, your CPU and GPU coolers have their own fans too. If you're not pushing those components hard, you should be okay.
It really depends on your specs. If your components aren't very power-hungry, 2 intake and 1 exhaust should work just fine.
I’d say 2 intake and 1 exhaust might not be sufficient. Fans are pretty cheap—like $15 for three—so it could be worth it to add more. You might consider cutting corners on things like your SSD instead!
My setup is low specs right now, but I'm looking forward to upgrading soon. Hoping those fans will keep things cool!
