What fans to get and where to set them up ?

[xX One JJ Xx]

I'd like to know if I can get some help on some ideas to cool off my computer. I'm looking to get a new graphics card soon and I was also considering water cooling or a new cpu fan.

Currently I have:

CPU: AMD FX 6300
MoBo: MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB
GPU: MSI R9 280x 3GB
PSU: Corsair 600W
HDD: 1 TB WD Caviar Blue

I have an intake fan (120mm) on the most front top. I also have an intake 120mm fan under the drive bays. I only have 1 exhaust fan, which is the stock one at the back of the case. I'm going to buy a GTX 970 later this week, either MSI or EVGA. I want to see if I can have my temps drop a bit. Idle, my GPU is around 40-41 degrees Celsius and my CPU is around 35-37 degrees Celsius.

Any ideas on what position I should have my fans ?
Any good quiet fans I can buy ?

Thanks for your time ! 😀

First, replace the PSU before you add a "larger" GPU. The Corsair CX600 is a less than desired unit and won't hold true to its rating. Look toward XFX or Seasonic, the EVGA G2 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list.

Promote front-to-back airflow with side / bottom / front intake fans, and rear / top exhaust fans. If you want to control dust, add filters and look toward a "positive pressure" system (more intake fans than exhaust) so that all the air going in the case passes through your intake fans and also past the filters. The is opposite to a negative pressure setup where the exhaust fans pull air in from literally everywhere (allowing dust to come in). As far as what to get... Look for 120mm fans with at least 60CFM at less than 20dbA for good volume at low noise. Noctua makes good fans as well as plenty of others...

A lot of people use the Corsair AF120/140 for large volumes of airflow, while the CP120/140 are for high static pressure (aka pushing air through heatsinks and radiotors). They are very quiet and efficient. They are definitely some of the more pricey fans for the market, but they are very good quality. Other than that I would read the reviews on sellers sites (newegg, amazon, google, etc.). Also I agree with all of sadams04 advice including replacing that power supply. If you are really tight, and I mean extremely strict, on a budget then move to tier 3, but use tiers 1 & 2 whenever possible.
