Looking for a few good fans

I'm having trouble selecting some good cooling fans for my 1-month-old system, which runs at a temperature around 50-53º C when idle, surfing the net, or doing some offline stuff, and up to 60-65º C when running games. What would be the most recommended 80mm and 120mm cooling fans that I should look into and purchase?

Do you want maximum airflow without regard to noise, good silent cooling, or something in the middle? Also, what size, how many, and where are the fan mounts in your case?

ethebubbeth, the kind of fans I'm looking for are the ones with less noise, medium-high airflow, and high RPMs. There are two 80×80×25 (in millimeters) fan mounts on the bottom front and a 120×120×25 fan mount in the center back of the case.

0roo0roo, I'm taking a look at their stuff now.

I would put two panaflo L1A 80mm fans in the front for intake (21 decibels and 24 cfm of air) or go for the M1A (28 decibels and 32 cfm) if you want to get a little more airflow or achieve positive pressure in the case. For the 120mm exhaust i'd go for a custom JMC (26 decibels, 61cfm), the only place i've found it at is http://www.coolcases.com. If you dont' wanna go for that, the panaflo 120mm L1A would be nice but it is 38mm thick instead of the normal 25mm in case that's an issue (30 decibels 69 cfm). This should give you a pretty quiet setup that will move a respectable amount of air.
