Wanting to keep my system cooler during use, I decided to look into buying two chassis fans.
What would best work in terms of performance and longevity, bearing in mind my Motherboard uses 4-pin plugs for Chassis Fans.

Parts involved:
Case: BitFenix Comrade ATX Mid Tower Case
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

I have got two Antec Truequiet 120mm Case Fan and they are incredibly quiet and the airflow for a miniITX build is ok... it really depends on the case :)

Would get 3-pin Fans, but I can't change those 4-pin plugs to work like 3-pins in my BIOS. So they must be 4-pin fans in order to use and control properly, unfortunately.

I'm be using my PC for gaming, usually, if that might be of help deciding on a fan. Here's a list of relevant parts I'm using. Thoughts and options?

Yes,they will work great but they are a bit costly but if u can spend 23 dollars on that fan it will be good it will last longer! and by the way only 1 left in stock ;) 
Good luck!

Thank you for your answer, late as it was. Strange thing though, last time I checked the price of that fan, they were $15.00 each, maybe they were on sale at the time. Since I was intenting to get two of those anyway, I'll wait until they get more in, or find a differnt vendor that sells them.
