Is there a way to improve the price or performance of this while keeping its color scheme?

(not gonna do the breakdown because of the custom cables)

 

the goal here was a very green PC, i didnt want to do custom water cooling or paint any parts. 

 

Is there a way to improve it?

 

(that motherboard is available on http://uk.amazon.com, so i translated the price there to USD

Not unless AMD starts releasing green Radeon cards... and for some reason I don't see that happening

I mean.. You could buy two MSI R9 390s and plati-dip the red parts green. I think Linus did it, and it worked and looked good.

 

Better $/P and better performance anyway.

 

You just take the plastic shroud off and use spray plasti-dip on it. If you ever sell your GPUs, and they don't like green, you can just peel the stuff off.

Nope, it looks good.

But it would be better price/performance. It isn't dangerous, doesn't take much effort, and you get a better PC. SLI 970s won't last too long with games like GTAV using near 4gb VRAM at 1080p. Yeah, 1080p! And, the 390s will do you better in newer games that don't use DX11.

For that price you could make a 5820K dual 980ti rig.

He really wants his green. I'm not one to judge, but seriously he's paying a  lot for useless stuff.

i do not plan on buying this for many years, if ever. 

 

anyways, in the GPU department there isnt much i can do, but in the Motherboard department...

 

is the difference between Z87 and Z97 that much?

Let me tell you about our modding lord and Savior plasti-dip.

You could just get sapphire's nitro 390s, grey won't interfere with your colour scheme, right?

 

Also, you can get the mid tower version of the Enthoo Primo to save some money.

You can't overclock a 4790k on z87. And I would get the 850 EVO instead of the PRO.

I can't tell you what to do with your money, but you're really wasting yours. You'll regret it later.

My friend OC'd his 4770k on H87.

I don't see why intel would limit the overclocking capabilities that much, surely ANY Z series board would be able to overclock?

Why the 850 Pros and not EVOs?

at this moment in time i am happy with my PC, if i am going to get anything like this i will use a single GPU that is grey in color. a large chunk of that list comes from the custom cables.

Plasti-dip isn't paint.

What, your so far off from the truth.
