Odd fan help.

So my mobo has two fan headers. One for the CPU fan and another for the extra fan. I plan on getting a fan splitter. My case has a bunch of vent holes so I am gonna mod an extra fan in it. Problem is it can't be any bigger then 60mm. What fan would you choose? Quiet as possible with good airflow still. I have one fan set to intake that's below the CPU and GPU. ( GPU is upside down so fan is facing up right below the vents. Should I make this an exhaust ?

The side panel and GPU clearance is barely anything. Maybe half an inch? So right now it goes kindda like this.

Bottom right fan is intake going to the CPU heat sink. That's it... This new 60mm one I'm hoping would exhaust some of the heat from th GPU. The CPU doesn't make much heat. 60C Max temps during Prime95. GPU makes it hot as can be.

I think I did something like this before. an XBOX 360 fan works perfectly.

How in the world am I suppose to get one of those.

I'unno, I got three off the side of the street, one of them actually worked too! But you can get replacements off of ebay

Was hoping for a legit PC Fan... So many 60mm ones don't know what one to get.
