I'm getting the h440 on orange but I want to know some good orange parts to upgrade to in the future. These are my specs right now:

Intel core i5 4690k

EVGA gtx 970 SSC 4gb

Gigabyte GA-z97x-SOC Force Mother board
Cooler Master Glacer 240L
EVGA SuperNova 650w G2 PSU
8gb HyperX Fury RAM
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Kingston Digital 120gb SSDNow
 
Please tell me what parts I could change for my build to look cooler. Thanks

sounds good, only if you want to change themes, you're stuck with selling

something to someone with the same need or otherwise it sit in the corner

of a closet. and since mobo mannies are stingy with orange layouts

(newer platforms) makes it a harder sell or upgrade.
