Plans:

Better cooling for the CPU, probably a low cost closed loop watercooler (such as a Corsair H55), or a better air cooler (such as a BeQuiet Dark Rock Advanced C1).

White or red LED lighting.

Sleeved white cables.

I wouldn't get a cheap closed loop cooler, it will perform the same if not worse.

 

I would upgrade the cpu/mobo first before trying to make it pretty.

 

Get a windowed side panel too before you worrry about any sleeved cables or lighting.

 

Nice job for a first build though!

Looks very good, especially for your first build! However, id rotate your CPU heatsink. As of right now, its sucking hot air off your GPU.

Wow, excellent cable management.  I wish I could say the same for my first build.  

 

May your frames be high and textures detailed.

I can't rotate the heatsink because the cooler uses the standard backplate from AMD. So it can only be placed in this way.

I already planed to get a window first. I want to buy it from the European Spare Parts center from Fractal design, but the panel isn't available yet. I contact them and they said probaly 1 to 2 weeks when it comes available.

Ok, cool. Go for that first, then everything else.

 

When it comes for a component upgrade, get a new cpu for sure.

 

Have fun :D

Looks like a sweet sweet system many users here would love to own.

 

Really like the look of it, well done.

 

Not that Its a big deal at all and I probably wouldn't care myself , are you replacing that memory with something with a bit more color? :)

(Led strips on all sides Top + Bottom + sides) Led lighting may make it look even better on the inside , but thats also a personal taste too.

Even swapping normal fans for nicer looking ones can make a normal system look beast.

Even singular Leds, planted within the fins of the CPU cooler, sending off colored ambient lighting.

 

Again, looks great as it is, once you start building pc's,... it never stops :)

Looks good but that gpu will still put off alot of heat from its back side. consider rotating your gpu so its intake is towards the front of your case and it exhausts to the back

I'd get either a good closed loop cooler or a good air cooler.

Nice build, my only recommendation would be to take out that top hard drive cage to allow some more air to your 270X

why did you got the 6800k and a dedicated gpu? 

you would have been better off by just buying an x4 760k and spend the saved money on a bigger ssd
