in all honesty the stock fans should do you fine as the stock fans on that case are pretty good already and cause a positive enclosed airflow meaning you should always have colder air circulating through the system so it shouldn't require more case fans.

Im shopping from the netherlands, and i have to say compared to us the parts are so expensive already, so i'd prefer not to spend to much on the case cooling since the pc itself is already over the limit i gave myself for a pc, however its not like i cant afford a little bit more but i would to like to keep it as cheap as possible i have no need for led's all i care for is pure performance at this point..

As for a budget it really depends on the offer for me, If like €20 would be okay and €50 would be great i would go somewhere right in the middle(the prices are not my budget its just to give u a general idea of what i want) the most important factor for me is my pc not overheating. since im planning to do quite a while with this pc... I dont wanna risk getting problems because of a little bit of money.. I alwayse bought pc's from a store without changing anything on them. this is my first time picking my own parts, im still letting a company assemble them for me.. so im not sure what to expect really..

Edit:
How are the 120mm fans that come with the case? are they any good or do i have to replace them?

That's fine look for a couple of these ARCTIC F12 - 120 mm Standard Low Noise Case Fan, they are fairly low in price and they perform really well, as I said before maybe have 2 intake fans at the front of the case and 1 at the back with 1 or 2 exhaust fans up top, this should give your computer really nice airflow :)

One of my friends told me i might be better off with getting an other case either the Corsair Carbide 500R or the Corsair Obsidian 450D And go with the stock coolers on those, both options come in at the the same price which is only a 10 euro difference compaired to getting 3 of those coolers. And the price of the NZXT S340.. We both arent sure but the case seems pretty solid it has more fans, but more isnt alwayse better i think.. Any thoughts on this ? i dont care about looks or anything like i mentioned before pure quality, dont care about looks..

My thoughts are that the Corsair Obsidian 450D is a FANTASTIC case and if you can afford it definatly get it because its more than worth your money, the build quality and the airflow on that case are outstanding.

Alright, I decided to go with the 450D and try the stock coolers on that, Should i still add more or would the stock coolers do? Or should i just add a few more fans right of the bat... another 50 euros on top of this wouldnt hurt me if it would really improve the temps. i can get 2 Corsair Casefan SP120 Quiet 120mm, 1450rpm fans for a pretty fair price.
