Nzxt has announced a new special edition H440 designed by Razer that you might find attractive, http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/149-h440-razer-edition-mid-tower.html. I could not find it available online yet so I went with the green & black H440.

 

The Kraken x61 cpu cooler is an excellent unit and users can control the color of the LED on the pump so it can be set to match the green & black color scheme.

 

The CX600 semi-modular psu would not ordinarily be my first pick but it appears to be the only psu with green signage for which green cables are also available. Note: the 24-pin main motherboard power cable is black and not modular.

 

I would suggest Asus PB238Q 23.0" Monitor.
