What Fans Would Be Best

Hi there everyone I was just wondering is it better to have faster fans such as 120mm fans that spin at 2000rpm + or bigger 140mm fans that spin at around 1100rpm +

For silence, 140mm fans at 1100RPM will be much quieter then 2000RPM 120mm fans. However you will most likely get more airflow with the 2000 RPM 120mm.

bigger fans are 80% of the time more quiet. 

Some 120mm fans have special designs, but it´s not worth it.

 

140mm 1300rpm

 

So would it be alright running 2 top exhaust 140mm fans that run at 1000rpm.+

I'm currently looking at the Corsair AF140 fans i'm thinking to get 4 of them and have two top exhaust and 2 front intakes they run at 1150rpm will it keep my case cool

hmm, I would get one Static pressure optimized fan (or 2, if you can) and use them as intake in the front.

And one AF in the back, not top, blowing out.

Corsair fans aren't amazing. Check out some others like the Be Quiet Pure Wings 2 and Gelid Silent 14.

I already have my h80i on the back pulling air in from the back reason I need good exhaust from top of the case.

Didn´t know it :D

Yeah it´ll work great, if you want to try some different brands, Thermalright has also quiet 140mm fans.

Noctua industrial ppc ^^  140mm are high static pressure and high airflow.  Pulled from website and this is their 3000 PWM fans.

Airflow; 

269,3 m³/h

Static pressure;  

10,52 mm H2O

You understand that in order to deliver the rated spec you will need to run them at 12V? As long as OP doesn't run them below 1000RPM them they will do him good.
