Help with Color Scheme

[NtB]

So, I made a thread asking people with help to find a custom PC builder. It basically turned into helping me pick new parts, but that was a great help. Still, if anybody else feels like picking out completely new parts, the budget is around 1,400-1,500 USD. 

Since that thread, I have been allowed to build it myself. However, I'm still having trouble with a color scheme.

This is the final part list that I have come up with from the last thread.

Since I finished that part list, I wanted a blue color scheme.

Can I get help picking similar parts with similar prices but with a blue color scheme? So basically the motherboard and the RAM need changing...

I want the graphics card to be the same as it is now... even though it's red, because I've wanted the DirectCU II 780 for a while.

[tS_kStin]

well the MoBo and the GPU are red and black so I would go with that.

Get a Gigabyte UD3H motherboard, Ripjaw X blue RAM, and get an SSD. Asus also makes blue boards. 

 

Get an EVGA ACX card unless you really really want blue, then get a Windforce card maybe.

How about it? Also why don't you have an SSD in that build? 

[ilikemacandpc]

do you have a microcenter nearby? they have insane combo deals. $30 off when you buy a 4670K with a motherboard. 

 

Also, do you have an SSD? That's wayyy more important than a 780. 

[ilikemacandpc]

If you don't mind switching out that GPU for an ASUS DCII R9 290 instead of a GTX 780, here's a rig that is black and red.

They also sell their CPUs at cost.  I got my 4770K for $229 on a sale.
