You usually want 3 pin standard fans for the case. I'm not sure where the intake would be, are you sure there is not an intake on the bottom of the front panel?

the side panel fan that came with the case is in take 80mm
the back pannel 120mm will be used as exhaust
then theres 2 80mm fan slots under the drive bays

i was thinking of using 2x
Fractal Design 8cm 80mm Silent Cooling PC Case Fans
connected straight to the psu there only 1400 rpm
so having them running at full all the time shouldnt
be a problem should it ?

rear fan is gonna be a
CoolerMaster 120mm Sickleflow Fan - Blue LED
