Hey guys! Just want your opinion on the color scheme and components. 

 

The specs of the rig are as follow and are subject to change.

 

Motherboard - MSI Z77 Mpower (Own)

Processor - Intel Core i7 3770K (Own)

Case - Corsair 900D

PSU - Corsair RM 1000w

Memory - Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz (Own)

Graphics card - GTX 770 (Will add waterblock)

SSD - Samsung 840 EVO (Own)

HDD - 2 x Seagate barracuda 1tb (Own)

 

 

Water cooling parts

2 x 480mm

Swiftech MCP655 pump

Primochill PrimoFlex yellow tubing

EK 3/8 id 5/8 od compression fittings

Swiftech Appogee HD CPU Heat sink

EK GTX 770 Water block

 

 

Now the color scheme of this build is Black, yellow and white.

 

I am thinking that I want the cables to be White and everything else either black or yellow. What are your opinions on color scheme? Also this is my first time adventuring in to custom water cooling. Are the parts I chose good for the time being?

For the watercooling everything seems good. Just make sure you take your time and plan everything out carefully first.

Also if you would like to take full advantage of the 900D then you could add another 360mm rad.

You also need to pick so fans.

To follow your color scheme you could go with Corsair sp120 quite editions and use the black or white color rings which would look amazing.

the 900d is a big jump. just make sure you fill it up, if you dont find a way to use up that free space your build is going to look ugly no matter how good the cable managent is or how nice the color scheme is

AMD will probably have a big advantage in games like BF4. If you haven't bought the 770 allready, wait for R9-280X.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

 

My 900D build will be at a step by step program as I have other bills ect.

 

As for the 360mm rad i actually have been looking things up and decided I will add the third rad. I plan on water cooling my CPU first and once I have my graphics card and water block, I will add it to the build. tubing and all of that are not an issue.

 

I have my fans already and they are SP120 and I will be painting the rings Yellow.
