Hi,I was wondering which fans to get.
I have a corsair carbide 300R Case.I am gonna use the 120mm fan that came with the case and the 140mm fan too that came with it as well as exhaust fans. I want to get the best high airflow fans. I was thinking of Noctua Fans since they seem to be one of the best but which model exactly? I need 2x140 mm super high airflow fans as my intakes.This is my first PC build and I didn't install Windows. All I am thinking about is fans. Please help me.

You're probably wrong: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9737/the-corsair-sp140-led-af140-led-sp120-af120-fan-review

In most applications high static pressure delivers a greater real-world airflow than a high airflow fan does. See that mesh in front of the fan? What percent of the area do you figure that covers, maybe 40%? That's called increased pressure. Go ahead and look at the charts and see what happens to the AF series fans when you put them under any kind of pressure vs the SP fans.

Stop spending your time thinking about fans. First measure what your actual temperatures are. Unless you're going for some crazy OC you're fine.

What will be inside that you need to cool?
Excessively high output fans will be noisy.
Since it is easy to add fans later, I would at least try the stock fans.
The value of replacing 120mm fans with 140mm as intakes is a good idea to me.
they will push more air at lower rom and noise.
900-1200 rpm should be sufficient for most rigs.
