(Please let me know if I'm in the correct "department" so to speak with these questions) Hey everybody! So I'll cut right to the chase...I'm planning on upgrading my computer and I've decided I want some case fans because my system does tend to run a bit hot and I'd like to move some air around and out. I only have one 120mm one in the front but it doesn't seem to cut it. If you'd like to take a look at my current set up here ya go


(I took out the GPU and replaced it with a 770 and PSU and replaced it with a 650w bronze certified one) -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
You cant seem to see the actual case so it's a cooler master elite 430 and here's a link -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
So if I were going to upgrade my case fan what make and model should I get? Id like it to be quiet yet efficient. (Maybe 40 USD I'm willing to spend on a case fan)


On the other hand I could buy and SSD, I would probably just put my OS on it and maybe a few games (I would like and SSD that I don't need to go through a lengthy process just to move my OS I heard about some wizard a certain company ships out with the SSD to make it easier, so I would like that.) I have about 100 bucks I'm willing to spend for an SSD. If you think I' d have a significant better experience if I saved up a bit more and bought a nicer one let me know. So I guess thats all let me know what you guys think for my future upgrade. Thanks!

Comes with Samsung Magician and a Samsung Migration tool. I use 1 and it is a very enjoyable experience.

And also:

And put the 140mm as intake, and your old 120mm as exhaust. But it is 7$ on top of your budget. There are descent fans for 10 bucks but they dont glow.
