Title mistake: "First *Hopefully* good looking build"

So a while back my girlfriend considered buying an xbox one after I gave her my 360 after building my first pc, she then decided on a pc after I told her we can make it look pretty....

Anyway so a few months later we built this. Currently using stock cooling, will be upgrading to water cooling purely because it looks cool.

Please tell me what you think  :) this is my first build that was trying to look good. Also have plenty of blue/white LEDs if you think I've placed the badly  :) currently two whites along each side and a blue at the top.

 

 

Parts:

 

GPU: GTX 960 G1 Gaming

CPU: i5 4460

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance with a high profile blue heat spreader.

MotherBoard: AsRock something itx (Literally the only itx board in NZ under $150)

PSU: EVGA 650G1

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini iTX 

 

 

(Sorry for the bad quality photos, neither of us have good cameras and pc leds mess the lighting up)

To me, functionality is a primary concern. If I can throw in some aesthetics, then that's an added bonus. This looks and probably operates pretty good.

It actually operates really well, I was very impressed with the 960's gaming performance as it's like $200 less then a 970 and only a little bit worse.
