Blue (icey) theme build recommendations

[Young_Warrior]

Hello all! 

 

I'm putting together a small form factor build, based around the 6700k. Here is my current parts list:

 

MB: GIGABYTE GA-H170N-WIFI

CPU: 6700k Skylake

GPU is my current EVGA ssc 960, but will swap out when the 1080ti comes around. 

RAM: DDR4 2133 16gb, but trying to find a blue or light blue style.

CPU cooler is the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing RGB 240 Edition.

 

Anyone have any recommendations about how to make this better? Maybe a recommendation on some baller ass blue ram?

 

The case is a white corsair air 240. I left the psu out because the black cabling doesn't matter to me at the moment.  

 

Thanks

your motherboard doesn't support overclocking K series processors

You have put 6700k  but you require z170 to overclock not h170

Some sweet blue ram (imo):

Thanks all for the comments, didn't realize I selected a mb that didn't overclock lol that would have sucked. Glad I asked!
