First thing I see is that all your fans seem to be pulling air outwards.
Although you'd think that pulling all the air out with the heat would work, it won't, you end up trying to cause a vaccum and pulllittle air and hardly any heat out.
You should turn you fans around at the front of the case and draw cool air in.
Make sure that this air is then pulled over the CPU by its cooler, not pushed back against the input of cool air, and then outwards through the exhaust fans.
I had friend with the same CPU and after he changed his cooler to an Arctic freezer the temps came down from 70+ to mid 30's.
He also had fans incorrectly fitted as well.

Two of the blades on my cpu fan broke and i replaced it, before it bloke the cpu temp was about 70c but i cleaned the heatsink and put more thermal compound.
(its running about 47c but im only on Firefox but if i play a video or dvd or game it rises alot about 55 - 60c)
It runs at about 40c but after a month now its running at about 50-55c.
Is this too high, if so what should i do??

@yomumma
what is the cpu and what type of cooler are you using?
thats hot that for just idle, did you reinstall the heatsink correctly, is the new fan blowing air onto the heatsink or sucking it off?
@red ice
there are too many to pick from that question, it depends more on waht you want. low noise, flashing lights, high air flow and there are lots of different sizes too.
you need to give a bit more info on your needs.

red lights or red blades?
those antec ones that light red would be as good as any but i dont think they are all that quiet, but ones that light up tend not to be.
the noctua nf-s12 is an ultra quiet sollution but it is more of a dark red.

tpyo, it should of said "that light up red" my bad.
the noise level is subjective, what would bother me might not bother you or vice versa.
now that antec one is rated at 28db the nf-s12 is rated at 18db which is quiet a difference in what you would hear.
i was only using the website to show you what those looked like, but im sure they are availible in the us too if you looked around.
you might also want to look for rubber mounts instead of metal screws as these too can help to reduce total noise.
