White and Red Build (White Dragon)

Hey guys, I'm currently saving some money for a pretty beefy PC. Thing is, I want a lot of my parts to match my build name/color scheme, because if I'm going to be spending $2000+ on this, I want it to look as unique as I can make it. Here is my partlist: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YVGqf7

Any suggestions on parts? Going for a white/black/red build, or just a white/red build.

chop the CPU to a i5 4690K

 

use the difference for a nicer SSD instead of the Kingston

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Hmm, I don't have any suggestions till August 5th, but Skylake mobos have some very sexy white red mobos.

If you want just white/red check this cooler out. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709001&cm_re=phanteks-_-35-709-001-_-Product

As much as they look good, jesus, It's probably going to cost more than $200 just for the mobo, then maybe something like $400-$500 for the skylake cpu...

Where do you live? They are going to be the regular prices for i5s/i7s....... $230/$330

850w is not needed. Way over limit.

rip, I just saw. If the i7 does perform better, I will definitely shell out the extra cash for that amazing gigabyte board.

It will be the usual 10-15%~ improvement over the last gen cpus. Nothing major but still worth getting since the price is so similar.
