120mm case fans make less noise since they rotate slower than 80mm. But you can't really do anything about noise. Get a good psu. Your psu is considered scrap metal here :p
Even i had the same psu and it went kaput along with my motherboard. Better invest in a good psu. Your current psu will not last long with 4 case fans.

@OP - difficult to get 80mm case fans of a good brand(CM,Noctua).So far Ihv come across only 120mm fans from these c/os.
