Grey PC Build

[Kejsare102]

So, it's time to build myself a new computer, since my current one is starting to get a bit old. I've decided to go with a simple, grey color scheme, but I'm gonna need some help finding parts that fits in.

The parts that I have already decided on buying are:

Motherboard: Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1

 

CPU: i7 6700k

 

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolve Anthracite Grey

 

RAM: Dominator Platinum 16GB(4x4GB)

 

GPU: GTX 980TI, haven't decided which one yet though. I was thinking about getting the Strix, but it's not grey, so I'd rather skip that. Is there a grey one currently available? I do not want one with a reference cooler.

 

PSU: Haven't decided here. All I know so far is that I want a fully modular one, preferably a Corsair, Be Quiet or EVGA one so that I won't have to sleeve the cables myself. 

 

CPU Cooling: I was thinking about just getting a nice air cooler until I can get a proper custom loop, but I might just go for the H100i GTX instead and save a bunch of money and time. If there are any other grey air coolers or closed loops that'd be nice, though.

 

Those should be all the components where the color actually matter. Basically what I need help finding is a 980ti with a grey aftermarket cooler, a grey fully modular PSU and a CPU Cooler.

Any help is appreciated!

The only gray cooler for a 980ti you'll get is the stock one.

evga has one with gray accents

That sucks.

Then I'll have to spraypaint the Strix cooler then.

A graphics card?

yes, sorry didnt realize thats only the 970

 

stock cooler or modding will be needed however these would be easy to mod

i think thats gold

[TheRandomness]

i think thats gold

It has small gold accents but the majority of the card is gray.

Well the Asus z170 has a gold accent on it as --> well

 

- So like the peps mentioned above you could grab an EVGA 980Ti like --> thus

Or you can remove the cooler and paint it, its not very hard and Linus has a guide on how to install a waterblock, just watch how he takes the cooler off. There are some build logs here where people have painted the coolers as well.

 

- The EVGA PSUs are all a sort of black and grey like asphalt and would match with the mobo better than an all black corsair one. Also the sticker has gold writing eg// 850W G2 on the side but you can remove the sticker.

 

- Not sure about a grey cpu cooler, but the best analogy I can find is Kyle's build log on AwesomeSauceNetwork, he does a full build in pink, grey and black and even paints his radiators grey -->

 

 

Anyway looking forward to seeing this coalesce as I am doing basically the exact same build but in the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX and in black/watercooled.

 

Best of luck!
