I need help with building new computer, I live in Denmark in europe if relevant. I have found some parts but take a look and let me know our thoughts.

I want to use the Bitfenix prodigy, because I want easy portability as I am going to a lot of lan-parties.

I would like some cool led front fan action, not sure what colour yet maybe orange as I plan to get the steelseries heat orange headset and mouse.

I have a max budget of around 1500$

I would say get a 970 for a little more.

if your just gaming then a i5 4690k is enough, everything else looks great. 

Edit: get a 970 instead of the 780

I would also recommend the corsair 380t as it worked outstandingly well in my last ITX build and has quite a few awesome features that the prodigy doesn't have like a handle support for 240mm radiator. Also comes with an included LED res front fan and manual fan control.
