Yo guys I need to know whether i should put a intake or exhaust fan on the side panel, I need to know what fan would provide good airflow, and I also want to replace the top exhaust fan with a higher airflow fan thanks. Pic related for reference.

Side panel not necessary. All it will do is create another dust collection point to have to clean, you should have plenty of airflow with your setup as indicated with your handy dandy arrows.

What fan should I get to replace the top panel exhaust fan then, Im currently using the one that came with the case, I want something decently quiet, but moves good air too.

Corsair AF 120mm Quiet Edition is good from what I hear. You can also get the newer Noctua NF-F12 2000rpm industrial fans which are good as well.
