Fractal R3 not overly quiet and running hot

Hi

I have my new bits in my R3 now, however because the system is running hot the fans are quite audible. I have stock 120 fans 1 on rear 1 in front. 560ti Frozr gfx card, Zalman flower cpu cooler.

Please could somebody help me with suggestions for best cooling methods, ie best arrangement and model of quiet fans.

CPU runs at 72-78 at load 2500k
GPU runs at 90-100 at load 560 TI OC

Thanks so much

Thanks Guys, I have just ordered 3 Sharkoon Silent Eagle 120mm 1000. Will move those hard drive trays and the cables are fairly ok. there is about 6 inches of space at the back.
I might buy a new CPU cooler if not much has changed
