Hello!

 

This is my first workstation/gaming rig soif any a bit more experienced builders could help me?

 

Please keep inmind that i am going for a black and white style build and that some parts(like GPU coolers) i can spray paint.

The build: http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/kpx8d6

 

Thank you!

I would replace the RAM with something that has white heat spreaders for aesthetic purposes.

i7 is good for gaming/workstation, you can overclock to 4.6/4.7GHz (maybe) with the cooler. 16GB RAM is enough for workstation, but if you are going to do heavy rendering, try getting 32GB. 1070 is a good card, but try not going with the armor series from MSI. Try getting a gaming X card and painting it, or a EVGA SSC card.

The armor is not as good as the EVGA, but remember. The only parts of the GPU you see is the pcb and the side

Look at the clock speeds too. The EVGA is a better overclocker, even though the armor series is armor "oc"
