Not very likely to find a decent orange and white system, since that's a combination most companies wouldn't invest in. Black and orange would yield much more results, like the guy above me's build.

And there's room for extra fans for the case there

Nice build

PCPartPicker doesn't have the windowed orange BitFenix Prodigy listed, so I had to create it manually. There's an Amazon link to it in the list.

 

Features

• An obviously orange case.
• A black motherboard that doesn't have the orange ASRock heatsinks but has a much cleaner look about it.
• A top-facing CPU cooler with a white fan.
• White RAM.
• A white SSD.
• A white GPU.
• A fully modular PSU so you can add custom white cables.
• Two white 120mm Corsair case fans with White LEDs.

I would recommend getting white cables from CableMod for this build and using them with your fully-modular power supply.

That's a great build, but it doesn't match up with the colour scheme as well as the value sweet spot. 

 

If only this case was available in the US.

@LookingForEXP- see if you can track down and import that case.

C7? It's not nice. I know you trying for something small but C7 is not great imo.

Regarding to my build I was in a hurry. I did cramp it some grayish orange thing white inside.

This is a good build but I would rather use the Z170 Extreme 4 which is just over 100$ and is a excellent motherboard.

I wanted to incorporate a cooler with white top-facing fan. Know anything that performs better?
