I can either go with the Carbide 300r that i'll have 2 intake fans in the front and the side and 2 intake fans on the top and 1 on the back,
or I can go with the Carbide 330r and sacrifice the two intake fans on the side for silence. I am going to be using Noctua NF-S12A fans, thought I should mention that.
The air flow in the 300r *I think* is better than the 330r because it doesn't cover much, But that also leads to more noise.
Also I am getting a gigabyte gtx 970 g1 version and I heard it might have coil whine which I do not want at all and I am hoping that the quiet case won't let me hear it if it does happen.

Solution
You will have more to worry about than the noise of case fans.
I would use the 300r, its a very quality case. You can use 140mm intake fans, that way they push the same amount of air, while spinning slower.
