I would like a little more white though - should I Plasti Dip the GPU shroud white? I should also get some white led strips/fans.

Two words:

 

SLEEVED CABLES.

 

Seriously, it will make your build look 3246189274361283046x better.

Ah! I will look into that when I paint my GPU shroud.

May I just ask, how does the Z170-A mobo look in person? I am thinking of getting it. @DolphinCraft

It looks pretty good. I mainly got it because it was black-and-white and not crazy expensive.

Could you please post a picture of the build once completed? I would love to see how it looks with all the components and an air cooler installed (I am planning to also use an air cooler)

Even better, I plan on documenting the entire build.
