your powersupply is decent but i don't think cable mods have any cable extensions for it

 

the total amount for the build will come out to around 2200 if you want it to look nice - as in getting rgb fans and red or black cable extensions

i really like those fans and the gpu. for some reason i really want the carbide case for ease of access im curious as to why your recomending the nzxt one 

 

also the cables are already black and will be mostly hidden ideally hehe so if the psu work for wattage and overclocking then illl jus keep it i dont need to mod the cable imo but i like what you did!

This is cheaper. I left the fans in as I wasn't sure if you were replacing the AIO ones.

Corsair has individually sleeved cables in various colors for HX psu.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

im still currently leaning towards the 2200$ one that gtx suggested but the 500$ savings and better processor from lee is nothing to scoff at.  i still get my red and black theme too all i would change is the case switch it too  NZXT S340 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case hmm...

You are not gaining anything by going with the more expensive spec though (No offence to gtx's build). The H115i is a very good cooler, so imo it isn't worth spending an extra $70 to get the X62. The performance will be very similar.

 

The board in my spec is the latest Z270 chipset. It still fits a red/black theme. 

 

Your current power supply is also fine. 

 

The NZXT Noctis 450 is a nice case if you like the aggressive style of it.
