I'm going to build a new PC in a Lian Li Dan A3 case and landed on a configuration with 2 140mm case fans that will either be both exhaust or 1 intake and 1 exhaust (top and side with CPU intake on the rear).

And the more I read about which 140mm fans to get the more confused I am.

Arctis fans seem the best value and have great performance but a lot of people say that they are noisy with very bad QC to the point that it's 50/50 how noisy the fan you will get be.

Silent Wings 4s are apparently good quality and quiet but don't perform that good for the money and some of them also can have weird sound and for not much more I could just get Noctua.

Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 are the best in terms of sound and the performance is up there but paying almost double for 2 fans than I will pay for my CPU cooler (Phantom Spirit) seems kinda wasteful even though I can afford it.

Is there no good middle ground for fans? Or you either buy the best and forget about it (Noctua) or gamble on getting a good Arctic unit? Thanks.
