You have won the internet for today, for not only spelling quiet correctly, but using it in series with "quite" and spelling them both correctly!

Bottom line: the fewer fans you use, the quieter things are. I advocate open backs because air goes out silently. When a computer must sit 1/2 meter from your ear you value silence.
OP has the right idea. His intake fans I hope are cooling his hard drives. If he goes open back he can use a 500rpm Scythe to blow air on his heatsink and end up with a very quiet box.

If you're reading a book, yes I understand, but his PC is at least a couple meters from the ear, being a home entertainment unit.
Besides, newer fans are wicked quiet and efficient. They don't sound like a Harley at idle
Sounds perfect.

it gets about 10 degree hotter than before at adle
the only load I put on it anymore is watching Netflix from time to time
and then it get about 10 degree hotter then with a fan/heatsink combo...but it looks cool
Is that 10c or 10f? If it's 10c, that's a jump of 18f on top of what your temps was with the fan. I have a FX-8350 system that the fans on the CPU cooler stopped spinning and the system did a thermal shutdown. So gaming or not, leave the fan in.
CPU cooler I use.
