I want to build my first gaming pc and i chose cm storm enforcer as my pc case....it comes with one 200mm red led front fan installed and has space for either 2x120mm fans or a single 200mm fan.....so which one should i install and why??? Also is that front red led fan removable???

Yeah all fans should be removable. You need to find the details of the fans to get the airflow per CFM etc.
I prefer a 1x200mm because it is more silent and looks cooler from the outside (both aesthetically and physically).

Larger fans don't have to spin as fast to move the same amount of air, which usually means less noise. Yes, the front 200mm fan is removeable.
