should i buy the new Corsair AF140 or a Antec truequiet 140mm case fan for my new build and if there is any better ones could anyone tell me
 

Although noctua is good for performance i dont like the colour of it and it will not match the rest of my system
 
Corsair's AF is for high airflow and in my opinion is the best choice

but if you don't have too much clearance for the fan then you are better off going with corsair's SP which is for static pressure
 
There's the redux line of noctua's, two tone light/dark gray instead of the earth tones. The phanteks 140mm fans are pretty solid performance and low noise.

About the same price as corsair's but better quality and longer warranty.

Just some additional options. The truequiets are pretty weak, the 140mm version specs say 32cfm at 20dba. Those phanteks I listed will move 82cfm at 19dba by comparison. Almost 3x the airflow and slightly quieter.
