Fallout themed PC

Go to solution Solved by CJ Chua,

6600K + Z170 board + 16GB, 250GB/500GB SSD + 1~2TB HDD, At that price you could get a 980Ti. PSU is overpriced, EVGA GS/G2 or Seasonic is a great choice. Silent Base 800 is good but I recommend Define R5 from Fractal.

So to celebrate the fallout 4 release I will be upgrading from my c2d machine to something more powerful, my plan is to make it as powerful (in my budget) as possible, max budget is $2800 NZD, I'll be gaming and video editing on this machine.

It will be in the design/colour scheme of graphics card picture below and some of the pictures.

What I'm asking:

What can be improved

What's a good case for modding that will fit what I need and has a side panel and is ATX and up

Currently I'm thinking about the be quiet! Silent base 800. Corsair c70, corsair 750d/900d, cooler master Haf xb evo, and the fractal design r5.

Any opinions on the cases, build, and idea.
