I have a Corsair Carbide SPEC 01. I have three fans in it, a 120mm Corsair fan in the front (intake) (came with the case), a 120 mm Cooler Master SickleFlow X in the rear exhaust and a 80mm DeepCool XFAN at the top exhaust. I have I slot empty at the top of the case and another in the front (right in front of my HDD cage)I am going to get a Cooler Master 212 evo/x soon and I also want to add extra fans to the case. I live in India so I have limited options:

I can either get two of:
Cooler Master 120MM SickleFlow X
Xigmatek XAF Series 120MM(XAF1253)
Antec F19 120mm
Antec True Quiet UFO 120mm
Antec True Quiet 120mm

Or One of:
Corsair AF120 (Performance Edition)
Corsair SP 120 (For the slot in front of my HDD cage)

Please also help suggest fan placement.

EDIT: I have an AMD FX 8320 and an EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 760. You can also suggest other fans. My budget for the fans is 1500 INR
 
Solution
I have spec 01 and also hyper tx3 cpu heat sink.

I first got cooler master 120mm standard fans, a box of 4.

then I upgraded to 140 mm front intake led and retained the exhaust as 120mm.

fans are like consumables, you go through them a lot in the life of your cabinet. better get affordable ones and replace them as they fail/become noisy

in the list, I would advice the sickleflow

Solution
In the front, add one fan

On the top, remove the eithty mm and add two one twenty mm fans

Now, use all the pin outs on the board that are available for fans

For the remaining ones, add them directly to smps

Control the fan spped using software
