I'm looking to replace my current, default case fans with some quieter ones. However, I'm not sure what exactly I'll need to cool my case adequately. You can see my system in my sig. My fan setup is two in front blowing in, two in back blowing out, and one on the side blowing in (I think). All are 80mm and the case is a full tower. Currently the fans are very (very very) loud, so I'm looking for as quiet as I can get while still maintaing a decent temperature. Note that nothing in my system is OCed and I'm not really interested in changing that, so it's just default. I looked around a bit and found two fans that look pretty good:

COOLER MASTER SAF-S84-E1

Panaflow Ultra-Quiet

Those are the two that I've come up with. The Cooler Master is the least loud (and cheapest) but I'm not sure it pushes enough air. Do you think five of those would be good enough for my system? Do you have any other suggestions? Please keep in mind that I need to replace five fans, so the cheaper the better. I'm looking to keep this under ~$50 including shipping. Thanks.
 
Newegg has those in stock. Think I'll grab a set. Worst case is I'm out 15 bucks after shipping (and they can't be worse than what I have now). Thanks.
