Hey guys, so I have narrowed it down to Corsair as they are the cheapest for me in my area. (Would like noctua, but they are 2 and 1/2 the price :'( )

First off here is my build at the moment (not even close to being finished at the moment so don't judge)

and here is a shitty sketchup picture of where I will be putting the fans http://i.imgur.com/3QsRedO.png and that will be on either side

(Sorry for the bad photos)

So I need to decide between the Corsair Air Series SP120 and the CORSAIR FAN AF120 (quiet edition, high pressure etc)

I will be having a total of 4 fans, 2 either side and all 4 will be 120mm

You will want the air flow fans, the static pressure fans are for things like radiators.

 

Also get the quiet edtions, the normal ones are pretty loud.

AF series fans are designed for airflow like Intakes

 

SP series fans are designed for resistance in mind like a radiator

 

Linus did a video on it.
