Noctuas are nice and quiet, their look is very subjective though.

I like cougar vortex or be quiet if you want really quiet fans. 4 pack of cheap cougar fans for around 30 usd i use and can recommend over most stock 3 pin fans. What price range did you have in mind or shopping site.

i was thinking no more than 50$ for the case fans, so 4 fans would be enough to replace the fans in the case?

4 fans for 50 is hard to do unless you get the 4 pack above, for 4 pin fans 2 be quiet fan to replace the loudest fans would help. Temps probably won't drop dramatically with any fans you go with 2-5c at most.

What if i were to remove the 50$ (USD) limit and i wanted to replace all the fans and in put fans into all slots, would the temps decrease a lot?

 

Top: 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm

 

Front: Already comes preinstalled with 2x 140mm

 

Rear: 1x 120mm preinstalled

 

Bottom: 1x 120mm

 

Should i go for the 140mm or the 120mm fans, and what fans should i use if i were to replace and fill all fan slot with fans and wherever 140mm fans could be used and filled all slots, should i still get Cougar Vortex or the Corsair Air Series AF140?

No, it'd be better to get better fans instead of more--at least for the noise.

If noise wasn't an issue, you might as well stick with the stock fans and run them at 100%.
