Best 120mm fan for intake at the bottom of the Fractal Design Define R4

The Title says it all

 

Only reason I am using a 120mm fan instead of a 140mm fan that the Define r4 supports at the bottom is because my power supply, rm750, is larger then most power supply so it block the clearance for a 140mm.

 

Thank You in Advance 

 

Edit: I prefer that it would be as silent as possible and have a black and white theme if possible

I would get something that has some decent static pressure since it's going to be up against the floor, something like the Silverstone AP121/122/123 will work or NF-F12 from Noctua, those are just some fans that come off the top of my head, there are others that will work also.

I've had a be quiet! shadow wings 2 fan (not sure if they're available in US), and it's been working well for me, with 2 stock intakes at front, and a 140mm of the same fan for rear exhaust. The bottom is 120mm because a 140mm wouldn't fit with my psu.

Gelid fans are not very quiet unless you turn them down a lot. Fractal design fans are very food for quiet, but their 120mm fan only pushes ~40cfm

Noiseblocker e-loops have a great 120mm white fan that is very good for static pressure, but comes in a variety of rpms to choose from! :D

The GELID Silent 12 120mm PWM Fan looks the part and is of good quality. 

 

However if you want a seriously quiet experience with excellent performance and build quality you cant go past the NF-F12 from Noctua (might have "Poop Brown and Vomit Tan" colors but is is the best can money can buy).
