Looking to replace some fans

I'm about to build a new pc in my case and figured I could benefit from
upgrading my fans while I'm at it. Case is a Cooler Master cm690.

Current inlet fans are a 140mm Xclio amaze fan in the door, 2 120mm
led fans in the front of the case and one 120mm led fan on the bottom
of the case.

Current exhaust fans are 2 generic 120mm fans out the top, I believe these
came with the case, 1 120mm led generic out the back and one 80x15mm
fan under the mobo plate.

Cpu fans are the 2 fans that came with with my Spire TherMax Eclipse II
and they are a push pull system blowing to the top of the case.

I'd like to replace pretty much every thing and am open to changing flow direction
or mechanics need be. I'm looking to increase flow and lower temps and sound
if possible. Although I don't really mind the sound. In terms of looks im game for
about anything. I got the leds because they do look pretty cool, but if I can get much
cooler and quieter fans then i can skip leds. Saw some orange bladed fans that
could look cool through the mesh.

I would say your pc is so old it's time for an upgrade

Well where to start?

Just to be sure?
You need one 140mm intake
You need two 120mm in side
You need two 120mm in top
You need one 120mm in back
and last two for your heatsink

You really dont need that small fan behind the mobo.

I really hope you got dust filters for the intake?

I am upgrading the pc. Going 8 core the end of the month. I'll be over
clocking it which is what prompted me to upgrade the cooling as well.
Unfortunately i can only fit one in the door as the other fan port is unusable
due to cpu cooler height. The case can use up to 5 140mm fans if im not
mistaken. 2 in the door one in the base and 2 in the top. I currently do not have
dust filters actually. That is something needing to be addressed. So lets get
the ball rolling.
