Need help with choosing case fans for Phanteks P400

Hello LTTians,
Need help with choosing case fans for my Phanteks P400 enclosure. And I've a doubt about what case fans should I mount at front of the case, should I go with 2*140mm or 3*120mm fans and also for exhaust even if I go with 2*140mm or 3*120mm intake fans, and if I choose three 140mm (ik it'll create negative air pressure, but it'll move more hot air out of the case technically right). I live in a place which has ambient temps around 30-35 degree celsius. As far as the enclosure's intake it has two intakes at front. And please recommend me good case fans (rgb and non-rgb). Most probably I'll order from Amazon US, since Amazon India price the same component double or thrice it's US MRP. Thanks in advance.
The following is the hierarchy from which I'll choose my pc components.
Amazon USA
Amazon India
The IT Depot
 

Please go through the following sites, and suggest me good case fans :D

for front. I'd get a pair of 140mm fans, and use the stock fans for exhaust, For RGB, Deepcool makes good cheap 140mm, if you are looking for something higher-end that that, I'd recommend corsiar LL140s, they are expensive but look nice.

 

for non-RGB, depending on your budget, Arctic 140mm (less than 10$ ea.), Noctua Redux (13$) Phanteks 140mm (get the MP version) (~15$ ea.),  Silentwings 3 (23$), Noctua A14s (20-25 whether you want chromax or not), and for 30$, noiseblocker e-loops.

Maintaining positive airflow is just a matter of running your intakes at higher rpm than your exhausts. 

Why get new fans? Your system should already be easily cooled by the stock case fans.
