I was looking at the SP 120's. I was looking for some with LED preferably, if not then they will do.

Never mind I found led ones :)

I am unsure what to get for my CPU fans. I am swapping out my custom fan on the truespirit for 2 new ones. I was thinking about getting 2 cm jetflows. My friend has 2 sickleflows and he said they work. Out of the two what is better? Are there any other cheap fans I can buy that will operate well ( mostly interested in looks but performance is also nice)

Get Static Pressure fans for heatsinks! Do not get air-flow optimized ones.

 

Corsair SP120's or SP140's if you're on a budget.

 

Noctua NF-A14/NF-A15 for best performance.

you do need to get fans which are static pressure optimized  

 

between the two

 

the SickleFlow X has better air flow movement

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Most fans with LED's are air-flow optimized. SP120's are descent, but if you're willing to pay a premium, get Noctuas. they are the best manufacturer for fans.
