I am planning on building a pc in a corsair 350D but would like to know what fans i should be installing at intakes in the front. I plan on doing two 120mm fans so I dont want the Fans to cost too much. Any suggestions appreciated!

you just need some 'air flow' optimized fans, not static pressure ones

I would not buy Corsair AF 120s. They're pretty loud and don't move a lot of air.

One thing I did to improve airflow in my 350D is I bought the High Air Flow intake panel from Corsair which makes it far better for air flow and it also looks like the Corsair 450D. I have Corsair AF140's for intake and Corsair SP120's on my Radiator for exhaust.

Heyyo,

High Air Flow fans for pushing air into and out of the case... BUT! If you have a liquid cooling radiator or storage drive & cages to push through? Use Static Pressure fans to push the air through those.

By the looks of it? The storage Drive cages doesn't really get in the way which is awesome so you could mount two 140mm high air flow fans in the front.

The top looks really clear too, so you could mount two 140mm high air flow fans on the top (unless you're going to mount a liquid cooling radiator, then use static pressure fans to push air through the rad).

Same with the rear where you could mount a 120mm high air flow fan (unless you mount a radiator, then use a static pressure fan to push air through the radiator.

On for example with larger cases where you can mount fans on each side of the radiator (push & pull configuration)? You would use a static pressure fan for intake and exhaust would be high air flow since there's nothing to push through.

That's the easiest way to remember it. If you're trying to push air around things is the only time you need static pressure.

NOW, if you're asking what brand to use? Corsair AF series(high airflow fans) and their Corsair SP series(static pressure fans) are freaking amazing and have swappable colors so they're perfect for every rig... just get the performance series, the ones with the swappable ring color thingys. Those are the epic ones. ;)

You can see which ones they are here:

Otherwise? Fractal Design also have amazing fans with rubber mounts if you don't so much care for color coordination:
