Heres my build: http://imgur.com/gallery/cOxXC
I marked the airflow direction in red, as well as the hidden alternative front fan locations.
The fan controller lets the non-PWM fans be controlled by PWM from the CPU Fan header. It's whisper quiet - the fans never go above medium throttle (1100 RPM) at full load and usually stay at 800 RPM even when gaming. CPU temps stay under 75C and the GPU stays under 70C when running AIDA64. This case could definitely handle the temps from 4.0GHz just fine but I'm tweaking the ram timings right now.
I removed the GPU shroud as it was blocking air from the bottom intake fans to the rest of the case. It also shortened the card from 300mm to 280mm, which allowed me to put the AIO fans in a push setup. Otherwise with the GPU shroud on and the AIO fans in pull setup, CPU and GPU temps would go as high as 83C and 80C respectively.
Those Arctic fans are no slouch. I ran Noctua's in my previous build but couldn't stand the colors. After researching for a bit, I decided to give the Arctic fans a shot. They may be cheap but they move a ton of air and are FAR more quieter than the Cooler Master AIO fans.
These would be perfect for you.

I don't have any to spare, but maybe look at the arctic f12.
You can get a five pack for $22 and one extra for $6 or so.

My most recent DAS build:
Add in a 9201-16e for a DAS. Here's a simple DAS build i recently completed for a total of 12x3.5 HDD slots and 4x2.5 SSD slots:
• mATX case [InWin Mana 137]
• 3x5.25 to 5X3.5 HDD adapter [or this one]
• PCIe HDD adapter
• power supply
• fans
• fan controller
• cables [SAS, SAS to SATA forward breakout, SATA power, etc.]
• Optional - PCIe adapter for easier cable connect/disconnects
• Optional - SAS expander
The Arctic F12 is 5 for $20 and was actually the most acoustically efficient fan in ehume's testing despite the price.
Are you pushing on the center of the fan where the bearings are to stop the noise? If so, then mounting it on top will give you the same issue if not worse, as the middle part that I assume you're "pushing back into place" would be facing down when exhausting air out the top, so gravity would be working against you. I guess it would still be worth a shot to try it in a different orientation, but I had that issue on one of the NZXT fans that came with my S340 Elite and it needed a replacement.
If you end up needing a replacement I would recommend checking out the Arctic F12/F14 fans if you just want something cheap and don't need dat RGB. They're better than stock Fractal case fans in both airflow and noise, MUCH better than the Coolermaster RGB fans that came on my AIO and if I remember correctly the NZXT fans I had on my S340 Elite were louder than the Fractals.
I was skeptical at first with the low price, but I had used one of the Arctic GPU coolers before and it was top notch, these were no different. There are definitely better performing fans like the Noctua's, but for a rear exhaust fan I don't think it's necessary to splurge. They make quiet, solid fans, and they're pretty much the cheapest out there.
If you do want to get some RGB bling in your case without breaking the bank I would check out the Deepcool RF120's. They cost a little more and noise levels on the Deepcools are close to the F12's, but they do move a little more air, at 56.5CFM vs 53 CFM with the F12's.
Both of these fans can be bought in packs with 4-pin fan splitters/hubs, and have a noise profile that doesn't "stand out" which is the most important thing IMO. Moving air is always going to make some noise but what you want to avoid is fans that have a strange pitch or a distinct buzzing, clicking, whirring etc that stands out.

Arctic F12 - Value pack 120mm Standard Low Noise Case Fan Cooling, 5 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTUJRHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_triBybMY3ZRTE
Would recommend these they are super quiet and a super good value
Wait for July. New Ryzens = Price drops. While waiting pick up parts that go on sale. Check deal sites. Add alerts.
Instead of a HD, and an 250GB SSD, just get a Samsung EVO 500GB SSD for around $75. Plenty of space for windows, games, etc.
Instead of the 1650ti, just grab a used GTX 1070 for around $200. Wait for an ebay coupon to sweeten it if possible.
Arctic cooling PWM fans instead of Noctua. Most of the performance at less than half price. If you dont need PWM, you can get 5 Arctic cooling fans for the same price as that Noctua.

I had to buy. the rubber mounts separately for $5
So im looking to buy some pc case fans and im considering getting this: https://www.amazon.ca/Arctic-F12-Standard-Configuration-Possible/dp/B00NTUJRHK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Is there a better deal out there that I should look to jump on or is this fine? Im pretty sure I would be fine with just 2 fans but 5 fans for $30 with those reviews seems pretty damn good.
Nice, here's the non PWM fans
Really you should do some research here, there are so many options to choose from that's why I gave you a vague response.
https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-F12-Value-Standard-Cooling/dp/B00NTUJRHK/ref=sr_1_2
I was looking at these ended up going another route, but it's a decent deal.
I've not gotten the chance to try them yet but I've read these Arctic F12 fans (5 pack for $21) are really good.
Depends on your budget, but a Hyper 212 Evo would be a good place to start.
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XvW2xbCBE3XBV
Also, I can't see the rest of your case, but make sure you have a few intake and exhaust fans to keep the air flow going. I just purchased these:
Arctic F12 - Value pack 120mm Standard Low Noise Case Fan Cooling, 5 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTUJRHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xzW2xbB9CGDNF
Oh yeah a couple fans in the front for intake are going to be very important for you. They don't even have to be expensive ones, you can get like a 5-pack of 120mm from Arctic for really cheap and that'll set you up nicely.

This will have the case full to the brim with fans. A bit loud though.
