I think top fans should push air out as hot air rises to the top in cabinet & as for disabling front fans again I think it should just be a matter of not connecting the headers but wait for others.

Use front 3 to pull air at high RPM, rear & top fans to push air out at low RPM to create positive air pressure inside case, good for cooling, helps a bit with dust as well. Since its physics that hot air rises above, its a bad idea to put top fans for pulling air in.
Here's a detailed video on that topic:

Noctua 140mm industrial grade fans are considered the best, but are expensive as well, there are cheaper ones at like 1.5k+ per fan.

Get some 1500RPM cheaper fans, should suffice.

But RGB is RGB. You don't build a mid-high end PC w/o RGB
Actually I missed the RGB part in those fans & thought it as just a fixed colour fan.But RGB is RGB. You don't build a mid-high end PC w/o RGB
In that case RGB it is.

OP can use this accessory to use as fan controller. No need for any RGB or ARGB motherboard also

My dealer has asked me to send him the specs so that we can finalize the build. Here it is. Chose 5500 XT incase down the road I decide to scratch the Hackintosh itch.

Looks good, just to be clear, RAM is 2x16GB DDR4 3600MHz, right? You don't have to stick with G skill (unless you liked its RGB, which adds to the cost). You can get any reputed brand with low price, like Corsair, Adata XPG, Crucial, etc.
5500XT is expensive considering its performance, but that's what you sacrifice for Hackintosh, so worth it for you.
RAM is 2x16GB DDR4 3600MHz. I liked that RAM and the dealer already bought it for me, so I'll stick with it.
5500XT is expensive for it's performance but for me gaming is not a botheration at all. I am guessing this is still better than RX580 in terms of heat, right? I just want to do 1*4K + 1*1080p set-up now, tonna productivity and 10% of lightroom for when I want to work on my images. Photoshop less than 2% of time in an entire month where I just need to use Content-Aware to remove unwanted objects, if any from my image. I will also had several chrome tabs + firefox tabs opened and YouTube videos playing the background and in some rare occasion do NetFlix also (prefer to use TV for that) while multitasking things. 5500XT card is supported in Catalina.
Would I have any issues if I am using 2*4K displays in the future? This card should still hold fine, right?

Yes, it will run 2x 4K displays, maybe up to 4. Check manufacturer's page for the specific 5500XT you are looking at.
My dealer told me there is no ASUS x570 TUF Pro WiFi anywhere in the market here and suggested me to do GIGABYTE X570 AROS ELITE WI-FI. I know TUF has better VRAM. I kinda don't want to push building my PC just for Mobo unless the TUF is to die for and is worth that wait.
I was also suggested Antec 750W HUG.
Anybody has any views on Deepcool Matrexx 55 v3 ARGB for the case. Apparently cheaper than MB511 RGB.

Maybe your dealer doesn't have TUF X570, that's it. Also coronavirus did impact supply chain, so it quiet possible that its out of stock most of the places. Shopkeepers lie a lot in my experience as well. Aorus Elite is a fine choice.
Corsair TX650M is just a superior product. You don't need 750W, not even 650W. If TX650M is out of stock, look for other gold rated PSU, like CM MWE Gold series, maybe.
That case has glass front, so not so easy airflow. Get any meshed front case like CM MB511, but not necessarily MB511. Check MSI Forge 100R, is a bit cheaper. There are other options as well. you can get non RGB MB511 as well & just add non-RGB fans to it.
Prefer gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro over Aorus Elite. Corsair has well established reputation for after sales support as per online comments.
RM series is a better than TXM series & carry 10 years warranty compared to 7 years warranty on RMX series.
Finally the build looks like this. Hopefully all things fall into place to get this system delivered in the next 12 hours. 5500XT is for Hackintosh. Worse case scenario I'll do RX 580 Sapphire to shave off the cost. Looking to seal this at or under 1.5L, doable or pretty ambitious?
