So I'm building PC, I chose Corsair 300R windowed case, it has availability for 6fans- 120mm/140mm and 1fan-120mm.
I tought about getting 6 corsair air series AF140 fans, they have 66cfm airflow, and noise of 25db. and one cooler master jetflo 120mm that has max noise of 36db and airflow of 95cfm! :O and i dont really know, maybe i should put all cooler master fans and get fan controller... :?

You DEFINITELY don't need all the fans. Three fans will be [plenty for that case. It comes with a front and rear fan so get a single 140mm fan and use as a top exhaust. This will provide perfect airflow.

Well all i really needed to know if those 30 extra cfm per fan are needed.. I kinda like my system to run cool, but silent would be nice too. I will be running stock intel heatsink for while(yea noob, right) because i rather save up that 100$ for h80i later, and start overclocking and what so ever then. Ill be picking up 6corsair fans and 1cm fan, maybe save up for controller later, btw i sont think that having 2exaust and only1 intake will be good, i think it will be vacuum cleaner then..

No you do not need those fans at all. It will run perfectly cool with normal fans. Blowing more air DOES NOT mean a cooler computer. you want smooth steady airflow. This is why case fans are NOT really high cfm.

Don't buy an h80i. It is a HUGE waste when a $50 air cooler can blow it away.

DON'T waste all that money on corsair fans. they will do NOTHING more than normal old stock case fans.

This case needs NO MORE than 3 fans. I OWN this case and use it for an SLI and OVERCLOCKED build. 3 fans is plenty. More fans DOES NOT mean a cooler computer.
