Should I get these fans because my pc is loud at the moment. Im using nzxt led fans, been watching some videos reviewers have said it isn't cheaply made and a lot of work has gone into it. I can actually see that there's been work put into it and isn't just a fan.

They're good but should be closer to $10 than $20. 

If you state your budget and specs, we could probably give some better alternatives.

They have FDB bearings, they're not half-bad. They look a little gimmick-y though.

Budget isn't a problem, I'm using 2 Corsair AF 120 for the front, both of them are intake with a filter, the top, I have one Nzxt led and corsair air something (came with brothers h80i, replaced his with led fans instead) for exhaust and also another corsair one near the IO for exhaust.

Rest of specs? It would help to know the case and components being cooled.

Where are you shopping/located?

A8 6600k,MSI A78-E35, R9 270X, Corsair Spec 01. Most major components. Mostly prefer NCIX or Memory Express, either pick up or 1-2 day shipping to my house.
