In the back of my fractal design r4 I am currently using the fan that came with the case. I took out the hard drive Cage as I only needed the bottom 3 slots so that is where my second fan is to push air directly onto the GPU. I was planning on buying one of these fans to add a Red accent to my theme and moving the fractal fan to the front with the other one. Which fan do you Think I should go with?

They're both the same fan, just one has LEDs and one doesn't. It was me I like the clean look of no LEDs.

The Air Series fans aren't too good in my opinion. If you don't care about looks I'd go with the Noctua NH-F12. 

The only reason I woud be buying this is for looks :P

Get the Non-Led fans. Add led strips later.

Heard the NZXT Hue was convenient, but horrible quality. Might get bit Fenix alchemy.

I would get the non LED ones since they look better. If you are planning to light up your case, I would get LED strips to do that.
