Case silencing

So I've looked around, and there are certain cases that apparently have "Silencing" I assume it can silence the fan noise but im un-sure.
My current case is from ebay which i got for around £42, and I dont know what classes as loud in terms of fan noise, but I wish my system was a bit quieter.

Or is it dependant on the case fans? are they all the same? are there any quiet fans?

thanks

Yeah, I built my pc a year ago, and didnt know about silencing casing i was a newby.

i7 4770K
GTX 760
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87

I just want a case with big space for cable management and silencing, and perhaps potentially fit for water-cooling later on for CPU.

Also I guess itll be wise to replace all the default case fans it came with better quality?
Like I removed one from the ebay case, its like china worthy quality haha

So are there specfically any brand fans that are quieter than others you could link me?

Thanks for the suggestion - looks a very nice case and I was quite tempted....until I realised (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that it doesn't have a slot for a CD/DVD drive! Granted I don't use mine an awful lot but there are occasions!

Had a look at a few and the BitFenix Ghost Silent Tower appears to tick all the boxes (right width, USB 2.0 and 3.0 on the front, CD/DVD bay space etc) - has anyone got any experience of this case??

I dont use my DVD-R either, but on the rare occasion,I just open my case window and hook it up, which isnt frequent. So I woudn't let that put you off the case
