I kinda want to go with a black white build. 

 

Well now why I picked what part:

 

The CPU:  I took the Xeon because I wanted to be able to stream and don't need to OC anyway.

 

Mobo: White and black (main concern is that the CPU and MOBO won't go togheter, can someone confirm it to me that it works togheter?)

 

RAM: Well it is white  and looks good.

 

GPU: I only play league of legends on a 1080p monitor so won't need a 4GB GPU. I might go SLI in the future tho.

 

PSU: Well I wanted to go with the supernova G2 for the passive fan since I want to place the case on my desk, but it is kinda out of my budget. Can someone say if this powersuply is silent ?

 

I already got this from my previous build:

 

H60 2013 edition

Kingston Hyper 3k SSD

WD blue 1TB

WD green 1TB

The 960 is kinda expensive maybe a r9 280(x)

1. You can save yourself 30$ by going the i5-4670 instead of the Xeon. Alternatively, you could save 10$ on an i5-4690k and be able to OC in a very distant future, and delay a CPU upgrade for another generation. Or just straight up get better performance. And about streaming and HT, if you really understand what's going on, you'll realize that it won't help that much. It's worth saving.

    

2. GPU: DID U SAY WHITE BUILDZ???

   Save money with a 285, and get: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003732l

   Or, for the same amount of money, get: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-gtx9602gd5toc

Maybe with the money saved, you can achieve your G2. Or, you could get a CPU cooler and have a more quiet PC.

And the 4690k is the same price as the xeon 1230. But I will look into it.

Backplate has no white leds. Only a few white strips. Besides, has no white cooler. But I guess it's your money...

 

According to what I searched, the 4690k is 10$ CHEAPER than the Xeon. But if you REALLY won't OC, no matter what you do, you should really save the money and get the 4670 without the "k". That's just a lot. If you already have the cooler, spend it on a good mouse. Maybe on a windows license. Maybe on a game. Hell, get your family, and take them to a nice meal.
