the one you linked would work, but it looks like it uses 3 small fans instead of 1 large fan, which means it will probably be a lot louder. the reviews confirm that noise is a problem with that model.
since pc cooling is all about the volume of air you can move, rather than the speed you move it, you can get a very quiet machine by having very large fans that turn relatively slowly. a small high-speed fan will sound like a jet engine or a hair dryer, while a large low-speed fan will be virtually silent.
in any event, if you're ok with the noise the one you linked looks ok. but you only need it if your existing front fan is unable to supply enough airflow to keep the interior of your pc cool.
