What are your specs and for what reason are you buying more fans?

Are you only running the one 200mm?

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Do you only have a 200mm? The case should come with 2 stock fans that should be enough for your system. 

Do you just have money to blow and want to get new fans?

If you're planning a new system and not just looking to get new fans, you should be planning it as a whole in the New Builds and Planning subforum instead of needlessly segregating the discussion.

Why do you want to move to 4pin fans? What's unsatisfactory about your current fans?

4pin fans aren't necessarily better. 

The difference between pwm and dc is just how power is delivered. With pwm, a clicking noise can be introduced with how power is delivered which can result in more noise than with dc.

 

What's unsatisfactory about your current fans? Are they not providing enough cooling?

Are you just buying fans just because you have money to blow?
