Cooler Master 590: Do the side panel fans provide decent cooling?

Just checking. I'm looking into buying / replacing fans that came with it. So far, it comes with a 120mm for the front (LED) and the back (regular). I was going to replace the back 120mm with an LED, place 2x 140mm LED fans for the top 2 vents, and then was thinking about anything else.

I'm really aiming for quiet here, so I'm going for the Yate Loon low speed fans. Should I put 1 fan on the side panel of the case, or not worry about it?
 
I have the 690, but it uses the same side panel. The side fans seem to put air where needed, right at the gpu fan location, and it helps get air to the NB area as well. I went with the windowed side panel that just uses a single 120mm fan and it seems adequate. All of my temps are fairly low, gpu and cpu idle in the high 30's in my warm room. The bottom fan (on the case) is in a nice spot as well.
