This idea kinda just popped off the top of my head. But anyways I was wondering if you could be able to replace the stock gpu fans and swap them out with some corsair or any good quality 120mm case fans that have a good static pressure and decent amount of air flow. I wonder if that would be possible. Please tell me your thoughts about this.

You definitely can but would be a mounting hassle.

You would have to tape them on

 

Or.... Make a custom mounting system

I would recommend 92mm fans

A 120mm fan would extend far beyond the edge of the heatsink, and may obstruct the side panel.
