My first build

[Kurupt]

Hey guys first post wanted to share my first build.  Wanted to go with black theme on inside since the case is black on inside and white out on the outside.  Looking to add an rgb strip perhaps to make my red led on my gpu and mobo and also maybe suggestions on a set of PSU extension cables red.  Any suggestions would be awesome as to what would work with my parts.  

 

Specs;

• i7 9700k
• MSI z390 Gaming Edge Ac 
• 16Gb DDR4 3200 Corsair Vengeance LPX
• Dark Pro 4 Be Quiet 
• Evga GTX 1080 TI SC 2
• WD Black SN 750 NVMe M.2 500GB
• Western Digital Black HDD 1TB 7200
• EVGA Supernova 650 P2, 80+ Platinum 650W, Fully Modular
• NZXT H500 

 

• Disply Asus MG248
• keyboard Corsair K70 Lux
• mouse Corsair Sabre 
• Sound Corsair Void Pro RGB White
• Sound Logitech Z313

That is one sexy build.

Looks good mate. It sure looks better then my first build  

For things to add, maybe a second screen but that up to you, you might prefer using a single display. If possible, you could get a speaker set if you're listening to music or watching a movie

Honestly man, given the star wars figurines and the white/black, I think you could do a really cool white LED build with white PSU cables. Or go blue and get an Arthas figurine in there!

I thought of that too,  any suggestions on which particular items you would go for?  I was hesitant of adding RGB strips of any kind because of the exessive cables but I'm willing to try.

Thank you! It was certainly nerve wrecking, but I ordered the parts pay day by pay day, so I wasn't overwhelmed at all of it at once, I think that helped tremendously.

You could replace your fans, would not add any extra cables but would provide nice ambient light, I think corsair makes some nice RGB fans.

Thanks I looked at Corsair fans, and others and the corsair I'm not sure if they require the commander pro or not.  Would you recommend replacing the 2 intake, the top exhaust and the rear exhaust?  And any particular set you would recommend?

You dont need a commander pro, if you buy the triple pack of 120mm or the dual pack of 140 mm they come with an LED hub and you can just plug them into the mobo and use the icue software

This three pack comes with a node pro.

It seems the node pro from the pictures I see only have the two plug-ins. You may want to go for the commander pro if you still want the extra fans and lighting strip.

As @Ravendarat said, you don't need a commander pro.

Thanks for the replies guys,  I think I will not get an LED strip and just get the fans.  I'm looking at these currently.  The 3 fan set, plus an additional one for a total of 4 to put in the case, I believe that will provide enough lighting and able to control the LED through either my Corsair ICUE software, or MSI Mystic Light. 

 

Here's the Triple set, plus one additional one.  I'm going to order this afternoon.  Anything else I will need?

Updates.  Added the Aisiahorse psi extension sleeves.  Still not sure how I feel about the 24 pin sleeve. 

[Kurupt]

Small update.  Switched the white combs out for the black and got them a lot tighter.  I’m officially content and not opening it back up lol.

Thanks man much appreciated.  I’m always looking at things to change etc on it.  Looking back now I wish I had gone with Ryzen 2700x over the i7 9700k and put that extra money towards a 2080 instead of 1080ti but I’m content.
