So I have been looking around for a graphics card and I can't seem to find one that fits in with my build. I am looking for one that is blue. Also if there is something that lights up on the card I would like it to be blue. The color scheme of my build is blue/white/black. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/z4G3sY this is a link to my build if that helps. I have been watching linus's youtube channel for almost a month now every second I get I am going back through all of his videos and watching them. Thanks for taking your time to help.  :)

It's not exactly blue but I'd suggest taking a look at the Windforce cooler--hard to go wrong with.

What kind of graphics card are you looking for? Mid-range? High-end?

 

If you want blue then HIS and Sapphire make cards with blue PCBs but the only cooler I can think of that has a blue color scheme is the HIS IceQ Turbo 280.

I don't really have a preference when it comes to amd or nvidia. Mid range would be better but if there is something high end that works I would buy it. The HIS IceQ Turbo 280 looks really nice. Is the blower fan similar to how a leaf blower sucks in air and then directs it out in another direction?

Pretty much. It takes in air from the blue fan and the shroud directs the hot air out the rear.

I looked up the sapphire and saw that the 290x version has it and with 4gb memory is more than enough for what I need.

I think that will be the card I get. I love the look of it and the lite up sapphire logo that changes with temperatures.

I looked that option up and I know I would like to do it when I have more experience with computers and painting.
