Red Lightning Build

[Zase]

Hey, So I'm doing a new custom PC and I really wanted to focus on the aesthetics of it and try to make it a show piece. I really wanted to get your guys opinions on what all I've got together so far. I'm trying to get into some custom water cooling which is why I've got the A240G there, I saw Jayz video on it and thought I might give a try. With the a240G my Graphics card needed to be founders from what I understand but hopefully someone can clear that up for me. I also wanted to get all new peripherals since mine are getting pretty beat up after 4 years of use, so any tips about the ones I've got picked out would be great. i'm looking to spend right around 2,200$ for everything, less would be great obviously but nothing over 2,500$

Cheaper and a little bit better.

A m.2 ssd is not worth the price that hdd is over priced imo that mouse looked a little cheap and that mouse that I put in there I have had for a year and like it a lot on amazon it anywhere between $15-$30 and says it ue to be $60 or so. Also idk how good msi montiers are but replaced it with an ultravel wide 1080p. From what I hear ultra wide is a very amazing expraince for everything. You could change the keyboard to a Cougar - 700K Wired Gaming Keyboard. Looks very nice imo. Also changed you to the 1600x version becuase G.skill has said the ryzen x cpu's are better with high frequency ram compared to non-x cpu's abd ryzen should or wI'll support 4000mhz ram soon so put a kit of that in instead as ryzen needs fast ram. Also got a x370 mobo in there as well will give you better quality compants compared to the oher one. Also you could fit a 1080 or 1080ti but it would be overkill for 1080p unless you are running 240hz montir or could go to a 1440p one.
