So it's a work in progress but here is my build:

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel i5 4690K overclocked to 4GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition

RAM: 8GB 1866GHz Crucial Ballastix Elite

Motherboard: ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer

SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 256GB

Secondary HDDs: Western Digital Blue 1TB (x2)

PSU: Corsair CX600M

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo with a Linus Tech Tips Notcua fan on it

Case: NZXT S340 Red and Black edition

Also some sharkmods red and black cable sleeving.

 

I plan to make the GEFORCE GTX logo white and change the colour of the fan corners but here it is:

Impressive! I usually don't like black and red builds because they usually look tacky, but just giving it some red accents here and there really gives yours a really neat presence.

May I suggest you switch to neons instead of LEDs? They emit more light that you may find useful as a desk lamp integrated to your computer. That's what I did with my White Angel :D

looks good!

 

not sure if you know but you can buy those LTT corner rubbers in different collors they're called ''noctua chromax red''

maby in some way you can even chance the nvidia logo to red? i would not know how but it would be a nice detail!

Thanks! Yeah I've seen them but they cost about £20+ in the UK so I've been put off, but might paint them red though. Today I took them off and it looks a lot better already! 13446350_1797465183820159_682446460_o.jp

Thanks! I'll definitely have a look. I was thinking of lightly sanding it down to white and then potentially painting it with red bulb paint to match the theme more.

Recently installed a second intake fan as the 1070 runs a little hot with the Founders cooler.  Also, removed the orange corners too!
