Air Cooling - What Fan Should I Get??

I currently have 6 80mm YS-Tech case fans installed on my case, Two on the side panel, two on the top panel, one on the front and one of the back.

I also have an 80mm YS-Tech fan on my Thermaltake SLK-948U heakshink and I am fairly happy with the result.

My temps average 50c for the CPU and about 28-35c for the system, depending on the weather.

I am overclocking both my CPU and my 9800 quite heavily so good airflow is very important.

I would like to increase airflow by getting better fans with higher CFM ratings but I also want to reduce the noise level of the PC, so it doesn't sounds like I have a Jet Plane in my house.

Any suggestions?
 
I use the Swiftech Mxc478-v with a vantec fan, idle temps are 29-33, never goes above 50 in any game for me. However it does sound like a jet engine, i'm interested to see what other people recommend. Edit: I really haven't tried oc'ing higher so I don't know if it would suffice for your application.
 
zalman 7000CNPS AlCu for the heatsink

and some pabst fans for exaust
 
What's the temps like in Texas??? Damn that's pretty low Idle temps. I get 40C Idle here and when I play Far Cry I get the beeps from mobo and my Hardcano.
