HI
I'm building my first pc and need help with the cooling. The case comes with a 120mm intake at the front and exhaust at the back. I want to add a Corsair AIR series 140AF at the side and less powerful fan to exhaust at the top.
Specs in random order(sorry)

Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO UNIVERSAL COOLER

Corsair Air fans???
Corsair Builder CX750m
Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800 CL9 KIT OF 2 x 8gb
Deepcool Thermal paste Silver TIM Z9
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 3

Gigabyte GF GTX970 4GB GDDR5 G1 gaming
Intel® Core™ i5-4690K 3.5GHz 6MB LGA1150
10) Toshiba DT01ACA 2TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB

I couldn't find better Thermal paste and sorry for weird formatting I'm typing from a phone.Also any other tips for beginners would be grand.

Tldr
I am noob, teach me how to do fans for max cooling efficiency.

I would skip the extra fans if you can. A single intake and exhaust will be suitable for your configuration. I would go ahead and invest the 40 or 50 bucks that you were going to spend on fans and put that towards a stronger cooler, especially if you'd like to get into overclocking. I personally have one intake and one exhast in my define r5 and I run them at very low RPM (I believe theyre at 800) and with my noctua nhd15 I can keep my 4790k at sub 75c (full load) at 1.29v 4.9ghz. My gtx 970 has also never gone above 68c.

Thank you for replying. I will try that setup and monitor my temps. I didn't mention that before but I live in a dusty room and would very much like to have positive air pressure

 
Then the best thing you can do is add a second intake fan for positive air pressure. Although if you really want dust protection make sure you have fan filters on all of your intakes, I have the same issue which is the main reason why I chose the define R5 for my current build.
