So I have a combo of Rosewill redbone u3 case and Msi B85 G43 motherboard.

I was looking to purchase more fans(for bottom and/or replace the fans that came with the case), preferrably in red but I can paint them no problem(just want to avoid taking fans apart).

 

Silence is not biggest concern; I am trying to run two r9 280x(have one installed, one sitting on the side because I know it's probably not going to get enough cooling if I put it in; unless I install a bottom fan in front of psu).

 

What fans(both 120mm and 140mm are needed) are of good performance?
4-pin slot for fans means speed is adjustable from motherboard, right?

 

Also, should I go with a regular old Coolermaster 212 Evo for cpu-cooling for Pentium g3258?  No better option for the price came out. right?

 

Thanks.

I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

If you're on a budget, get the 212 to cool the pentium. If you can fork out the extra cash, a dark rock 3 would be a good choice as well.

For fans, the nf-f12s by noctua, noiseblocker e-loops or black silent pros are good, along with bitfenix spectre pros and silverstone air penetrators.

Yeah, F-12s and A-14s if you're not concerned about silence. (though p-12s are a better compromise of performance/quietness)

 

4-pin means the fan is PWM enabled. This generally means the motherboard controls the speed to adapt to temperature, and user customisation of these PWM speeds is a feature on a few select motherboards only.
