Need help revising (and solving other problems) with the "Red Wraith"

I've got a few problems that need to be addressed.

This should be revised under certain guidelines.

  • Red and black theme
  • Keep the SPEC-01
  • I want the fans
  • This is a gaming rig, I have 3 1080p monitors. I would prefer a single graphics card.
  • I'm already pushing the budget as it is. Don't make it more expensive... stg
  •  

Problems:

  1. Ugly fan controller. Does the MOBO have enough places to wire 4 case fans?
  2. Don't want to spend too much on a heatsink, but don't really want to see the tx3 in the side window

I can't help but say how it's dumb that you're not getting a Z97-A, and how you should be getting a black and red H440 and a PSU that isn't mediocre...

Why don't you save $20 on your HDD and just get a Caviar Blue and try not to get an outdated mobo and a borderline trash case and PSU somehow...

Also that CPU cooler... ugh...

 

You could also get a 128gb MX100 for $70 instead of that $110 Samsung SSD

 

Or you could just cheap out on tons of shit just to have a 980 and 3 monitors like you are...

If you want a red theme, you can try changing your MoBo to a MSI Z97 Gaming 5. Also you will need a z97 chipset board, Z87 might need a bios update to support Devils Canyon (4x90k, G3258).

 

Also if you are willing to switch out the Windforce card, you can try to put in a MSi GTX 980 Gaming 4g. Its also red in colour.

Quote me if you want me to see your message. Like my post if it helped. Click "Show More" to see things that I use.
