HAF 932 - 3x 120mm fans vs. 1x 230mm fan?
Title says it all - in top area of the HAF 932, there's room for either one of their 230mm fans or 3x 120mm fans of my choice.
Which would cool better? Which 120mm fans should I get? Aiming for High CFM + Low dBa.

The 230mm fan if I remember correctly is around 92cfm, so if the three fans you're putting in have more than that combined (which they probably have 150+) then you'll get more airflow. You would also get a bit more noise, although whether it's noticeable or not depends on the type.
The Scythe Slipstreams I think would be perfect, I'd go for the 1600rpm ones to keep it quiet yet have 200+ combined cfm.

Well i have the case and i have the 230mm fans on it. Yea like coffee said you would be better off with 120mm fans if noise doesnt bother you. But im very happy with the case with the 230mm fans and im idle temps with the case is around 29 c.

Well. I mean, noise doesn't quite bother me, it just bothers the people around me.
If it was all my decision, I'd be getting some Delta 220CFM fans and such, but not the case here.

The 230mm fan works just fine for me. They made it so you can mount 3x120mm fans there incase you want to mount a rad there. My temps dont get over 68C on my gpus and my cpu seems to be at around 50C on all 4 cores when i am playing crysis. I have alarms set at 65C for the cpu and 80C for my gpus and the alarms have not gone off once. Of course i am running stock speeds atm since i can not get a stable overclock so i am just going to get an i7 setup when the price comes down. Anyways it sounds like im standing next to a toyota prius where as the 120mm fans would be like someone running a vacuum in the next room. I hope my random sentances helped abit.
