I want to say I am sorry if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't too sure where to place this question.

This is my current case.

So I was under the impression if I added more fans, I could get better cooling for my CPU and GPU. My CPU is an FX-8320 OC to 4ghz (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO) and GPU GTX 980 Asus. I have thought about upgrading the read 140mm to something with more rpm's. And I was told by someone if I added 3 140mm fans on top as either in take or exhaust, That would bring down temps also. Thank you.

Take a look at the corsair AF120/140 AF (air flow) SP (static pressure) The SP will be good if you have it blowing on a radiator but for case fans you are probably better off with the AF version. You can find them for a decent price on amazon/ebay.

I would personally go with 140mm since your case accepts that size, you will get the same (maybe better) airflow without having to crank the RPM to 2k+.

I would leave the rear 140mm, I am a big fan of 140mm fans due to their ability to run at a slower speed which generates less noise. You could replace the front 200mm with a couple 140mm fans and put an intake fan on the bottom of the case. If your going to add fans to the top you should have them exhaust as opposed to intake.

You want intake on the front and bottom, exhaust through the top and back.

Exhaust is the most important because it will also suck air in from the vents as it blows air out. Direct cooling across the video card or motherboard may also help cool the VRMs for CPU overclocking, but it doesn't look like you have a door fan option. If you want more airflow and don't mind the noise, go for decent high-CFM fans and stick them on the top.
