Case Fans

This concept of case fans has been bothering me for a long time. I need some help regarding what type of case fans I should get for my pc build.

 

I am getting an H75 AIO cooler from corsair, which already has two SP fans. Anyway, I am considering whether to get 3 AF Fans for my case, or 1 SP fan at the back and 2 AF fans at the front.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated, 

Thanks a lot. :)

If you're asking to check if the case supports the cooler, it does.

No, but the case will affect what fans would be most appropriate and it would make it easier to help you.

Any bit of info can help. The case is fairly open so airflow oriented fans would be most appropriate. If your hdd cage if full, it would be good to get a fan with more sp there. If you tell us where you're shopping/located and your budget, I could give some specific fan recommendations.

In the US? What's your total budget for the fans?

What kind of fans did you have in mind from the store?

My experience with Corsair fans has been less than great, I'd recomend the new CM Silencio fans, but they are a bit more expensive I thought they'd be and the 1500 RPM version is not on amazon. Specter Pros, Cougar Vortex, AP123s, Phanteks MP120, there are quiet a few options that are quieter and better performing for the same or lesser price than the corsair fans.
