Build suggestions

[Franpadi]

I will be using this build for gaming in 1080p/1440p. I now it is not the most bang for your buck because I want it to match my desk. Do you guys have any comments?

I would add an SSD. I wouldn't recommend AIO water as you can get high end air performing similar for much less.

this is a much better build. I added an SSD, and swapped a few overly expensive parts around for some cheaper (but still high quality) parts

Yeah I know its just I like the looks of it and performs great. I will probably add one in the future.

Same as @rn8686 said above. One more thing. Why that motherboard? It's quite expensive and has the same stuff as lower-priced motherboards.

Thing is I want it to be mainly white. Forgot to say so in the post.

... that is mainly white...

 

The case is white

The mobo is black and white

The RAM has white LEDs

The cooler is black, but has a RGB LED on the block

I would NOT change that PSU. It's a very high quality one for the price. Just sayin.

The SeaSonic I swapped in is also great, it was just less expensive, that's the reason I did it.

If color is your main thing... You won't end up with a great system. I would opt for white and a little bit of black, no LEDs.

The motherboard you had before was silver. 

 

I suppose you could get a black/White GPU instead of the black/silver it is now, but that's relatively minor. 

 

as for the CPU cooler, you could use a CRYORIG C7 if you only care about looks, the liquid cooler was not necessary anyways.

You know why it's cheaper though? It's 80+ Bronze, not Gold.

...You know that is only an energy efficiency rating right? it uses ever so slightly less power from the wall.

That is true. I'm making a list rn, and if he wants liquid cooling, the Cryorig A40 Ultimate is really good.

Yeah... I know. But that's why it's cheaper.

That it is.

I would recommend a "white" ssd XD. Even though it makes most people cringe on spending much more than normal, its still a good PC.

If that's really what you are aiming for, this is your best bet.

You could also get the CRYORIG A40 Ultimate if you wanted a liquid cooler, as @rphawkssaid

There it is. Just changed out the AIO really.

 

EDIT: Didn't see the all white GPU. Go with that. For the case... your call.

I went with the P400s because it was cheaper, but it is still an amzing case. 

 

Phanteks is amazing. I have become a Phan-boy. (heh)
