NOOB: Building a PC need help.

[Kavaton]

Hey guys, I'm a console gamer, well used to be. I just sold my TV and my PS4 because I decided to make a PC. I have sort of made a build (it's theme is black and white) and I've had trouble with a graphics card. I want to get a GTX 1070 but I don't know which one is best. It would be preferable if it's white/black. Please help, I'll list the other parts I've picked out below.

 

Motherboard MSI Z170-A Krait Gaming

CPU: Intel i5 6600k

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz 16GB DDR4 (white)

GPU: GTX 1070 (help me pick a model)

Power Suply: EVGA 750w GQ series

Hard drive: Western Digital 1TB

SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB

Case: NEXT S340 (White)

Take a look at evgas models, something like a superclocked edition or a FTW edition, they are white and black and really good.

Also have u used pcpartpicker?

EVGA superclocked ACX. It looks tacky but it fits your colour scheme.

[Franpadi]

though i think u shouldnt care so much the color scheme as a first time builder

[Franpadi]

at the end of the day u are just gonna game on it

For white I immediately think of the HOF by Galax (aka KFA2). EVGA's SC and FTW editions are also black and white.

Hi, sorry for late response. I live in Ireland and I can't find the Hall of Fame anywhere bar the US (with import taxes it'll be 700+ euro). The EVGA cards look nice from the side tbh. However I was wondering if using plasti dip on a msi gtx 1070 (the silver one) would void the warranty or....? It's just it'd be kind of scary considering that is my first build

Also do the EVGA cards have any LED's?

Sorry for the late response, I didn't notice it. I guess you can try it, but to properly paint it you'd probably have to take the card apart. I guess it may void warranty, but you should check with MSI. Anyway, I don't recommend painting the GPU since it's your first build. Do it when you're more comfortable and perhaps maybe get an old (read: less expensive) one to practise on first (just to be safe).

If I remember correctly the logo lights up yes.
