[PLUG] Desktop case cooling fans

I'm assembling a new desktop in a Thermaltake V100 case. The case comes with
a 120mm fan attached to the rear and accommodates additional 120mm/140mm
fans on the top and front panel. The manual shows 2- and 3-unit fans (the
latter for the front) but I don't find such units in my web searches.

The components include an Asus Prime X470-Pro motherboard with a Noctua
NH-D15 CPU cooler on a Ryzen7-2700, 64G RAM, Radeon Pro WX4100 GPU card,
Creative Technology model SB1570 Sound Blaster card, and a Corsair RM-750X
power supply, optical drive, one SSD for the OS and 1 or 2 2T hard drives.

I'd like your thoughts on whether to add more fans and, if so, how many.
Should they be built for low noise or high airflow? Placed on top, the
front, or on each? Other than Noctua what other brands should be considered?

TIA,

Rich
