LMG Lan Center PC inspired Bigger Brother Build (in white)

[St.Nick]

So, the LMG Lan Center builds tickled my fancy a while back, and now with Zen2 out I figured it was finally time to retire my FX-8350 based build. However since there aren't really any Micro ATX boards available for x570 in my region I couldn't go with the 280x case, instead, I have settled on going with a bigger build in White. 

 

Here is the parts list of what I have decided on. I couldn't exactly afford to buy everything right away but I have started on buying parts piecemeal. I am still waiting for the DDR-4 memory to get shipped out before I can switch in the new Motherboard and CPU. I have also changed quite a few parts just to fit my own preferences and what I had available in my region and with the new platform however the concept of the build is still pretty much there. A x700X series AMD CPU in a Corsair Crystal White Case for an all white build with Corsair for an RGB ecosystem (and RGB Fusion to handle everything else that corsair doesn't make, hence why the GPU and motherboard are both from Gigabyte)

However it seems like a crying shame to leave all these parts in their box while I wait for memory, so this afternoon I will be building my Crosshair Formula V and FX-8350 into the case to get started and swap out the new parts as they come in. Even so I am very much excited to get this build underway. Pictures will come as soon as I finish this afternoons building session. 

Edit 26-08-2019: So I Swapped around the planned fan setup a little after getting some hands on experience with the case, I didn't want to get a second RGB hub so with a limit of 6 RGB fans on 1 hub taking up RGB slot 2 on on the commander pro and the Lighting node pro with RGB strips going on RGB  slot 1 eventually I should have all RGB on the front and top. two 140's look better on top then 120's so i switched those out to. for bottom intakes I added some more Noctua chromax fans and for the cooler I decided to go very white and painted the hub on one of my brown noctua's white, put the black caps from one of the chromax fans on there and switched the front fan out for a Single white LL120 to get some RGB on there and to make sure I could move it up higher to avoid conflicting with my RAM clearance. 

For the front glass panel, I am not really happy with the airflow that I'm getting from that, so I'm debating removing it in favor of a custom Acryllic piece. Photoshop design for the new front grill should be up shortly.

So, A quick update here. Due to availability and limited time to work on my personal rig due to work I sort of flopped on actually throwing up some pictures of the current build I have decided to switch out the Corsair Vengeance ram for Trident Z Neo's at 3600 Cl16, they should be coming in a few days. I do currently have my old rig running in the new case but the red accents on the Formula V are totally harshing the builds aesthetics for the moment. I also realized I have the NH-D15 AM4-SE and thus can't actually mount this on my current motherboard and ghetto mounted my old Coolermaster  AIO with the two brown noctua NF-a15hs PWM fans that came with the cooler. Should be getting most of this build actually done by next week at which point I will be getting some real pictures up here!
 

So this is the Idea I had for replacing the glass front panel on my case. Acryllic at the same thickness as the glass for actually fitting it in the case mount (so I can swap the glass back in if i want to) With the Aorus logo and some artistic Cpu line graphing etched into it so the RGB from the fans will backlight these logos, and replacing the rest of the panel with mesh over a black acryllic frame and bonding the two acryllic pieces together into a single insert to get some better Airflow in there.
