If you are willing to pay a premium, Noctua all the way!

You won't benefit by much. It'll definitly be not as loud as the stock fans and you might have 1 or 2°C lower temps, but thats about it.

If you still want to upgrade, I would recommend, as always, be Quiet Silent Wings 2, simply because they have a nice air pressure and pretty good airflow at low rpms and also look great.

If you are concerned with price NO. 

 

If you just want 100% best components, yes.

Basically Luke is saying this. If you have the money, then why not. However it's pretty much not worth it.

I only see the point in terms of volume. Noctuas are whisper quiet, so if you are going for a silent PC, it might be worth considering.
