It's not all about how much air you move. It's how well you move it around obstacles. You could have a fan that moves 100 cfm, but if it can't push / pull it through a vent, then it's not much good to you. Static Pressure will trump CFM every time.

Buy a mega + pana if you want to spend money.
Buy a Mugen 2 if you want to save money.

Buy a gentletyphoon or an sflex for a case fan.

Ok so Dark Knight it is for the CPU Cooler?
And the CM Side LED I'm going to get?
Also the Kaze Exhaust Fan?
Now the intake fan is going to be a Medium Yate Loon? Is it fine that the rear exhaust is much more powerful then the front intake?

EDIT: I'm still unsure as to which fans in specific.

EDIT2: What's a mega + pana?

Wouldn't get the Kaze. Extraneous noises and loud.
R4's are good case fans for the price, but they aren't good on rads or HSF's.
With a low budget, you can't go wrong with Petra's Yates or the Zalman ZM-F3. Or spend a little more and get Gentle Typhoon's or S-Flex's.

The Mugen 2 will perform a little better then the DK, but it is far bigger.
For the best air performance, go for Megahalems or a lapped and washer modded True.

A Gentle Typhoon seems quiet but will the CFM different from the Kaze show when it's a hot summer day with no AC?

I googled the Mugen 2 and people say it's way too big, I think I'll just go with the Dark Knight. But I'm going to keep the CM LED Fan as a side fan.

EDIT: R4, Gentle Typhoon, S-Flex, or Kaze? I'm not knowledgable on fans that much.

Thanks for the videos. Sorry if I'm sounding stupid but I really don't want to make the wrong decision.

Can you decide for me please. Gentle Typhoon, S-Flex, Kaze, or R4? Remember, hot summer day with no AC. Please rate like 1st 2nd or 3rd choice.

I am only really familiar with the yate loons and the kaze. I don't know much about the others so I don't wanna give any incorrect/bad advice.

Personally, I would go with the kaze as an intake fan as it has enough power to push through the hdd cage. I don't know if the 38mm fan will fit in there though. You want a high CFM fan as intake. You could check out high speed yate loons as they push a fair amount of air.

I have heard good things about the typhoons and s-flexes. I don't if they are worth the premium over the dirt cheap yates.

I place more emphasis in getting cool air into my case then getting hot air out.
