I own Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition case fans. When your PC is idle or you are doing non-intensive tasks, turn them down to 60% and they are inaudible. At 100% they are audible but still extremely quiet. In any case, when you need these fans at 100% your gpu fans will most likely be drowning these out by far.
I do not claim to be a computer expert, but after reading many reviews, and at £20 for a pack of 2 I could not recommend these more.

AF stands for airflow and SP stands for static pressure. I am sure you can work out the rest from here.

Your case will come with a single blue 120mm led fan mounted in front. I have no idea about it's quality/cooling/noise.
If you want quiet, try to use larger slow turning fans.
Your case can accommodate a single 140mm intake fan in front.
The best would be the phanteks 140mm Phanteks PH-F140HP/TS
It has the best combination of cooling vs. noise.

Then, relocate the stock fan to the rear of the case as an exhaust.
Unless you have a very hot graphics card, your cooling should be adequate.
Remember, it is easy to add/change fans later; don't spend more up front if you don't need to.
If you are more concerned about "bling" and want to keep a led fan in front, then I would suggest a 120mm fan as added intake on the bottom where the filter will help keep out dust.
Pick any one of the good 120mm fans from the spcr test chart.
