Case fans depend on what your case has. Mine has a rear 120mm, 2x80mm side, 1x120mm front ports for fans. All of which are occupied.
120mm fans are loud, but they move a hell of a lot more air than an 80mm, sometimes more than two 80mm. I use Antec fans, but most brands are fine. If you get AMD you don't need any cooling gel, just peel back the protective cover on the heatsink bottom and the thermal grease will melt onto the CPU.
Case fans, get ones that have less than 25 dBa for sure. fill up all of your available fan ports, even with all of mine my case ocassionally gets too warm.
