Pulling air in through front panel

I've got an NZXT Source 530 Full Tower case (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FUC6S5O) and I put a 140mm fan (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KJGYLMI) in the front of the case.

 

My frustration is that the fan has a hard time pulling air in through the mesh of the case's front panel.

 

Would a high static pressure fan achieve greater airflow into the PC though the mesh? I was thinking about getting two of these: https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Pressure-Radiator-Cooling-PH-F140MP_BK_PWM/dp/B00OP2PUDQ/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1471730769&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=phantex+140mm

Yes a high staic airflow fan would pull much better through thick mesh/filters I use two on my PC for that reason

Okay, thanks! What do you think about the fans I'm looking at? (I fixed the link)

The fans you're looking at are good but the stock case fans should be doing fine. 

How are your current fans not enough? What are your temps?

I just put a couple of those Phanteks on an AiO to replace stock fans (one had developed a rattle.)  They are working at least as well, and are quieter than the originals.

 

I doubt you'll regret buying them, but I'm also not convinced you need them.
