I have an H115i so I need to get 140mm (NF-F12 are 120mm) so do you have any specific recommendation?

Oh yeah it's 140mm, in that case the NF-A14 would be suited for that.

The corsair H115i stock fans are functional, but a little noisy for my taste. I've received a $50 amazon gift card this morning so I'm trying to spend that rather than hunting down the best deal on another site. Need two fans, any recommendations to maintain that $50 budget, the quiet aspect, and the performance aspect. I've also posted my current fan curve which is set for noise, not performance. Thanks!

Noctua F-F12 are a popular option, to name some others also Bequiet Silent Wings 3, Gentle Typhoon and Fractal Design Venturi's are all good options.
