Could upgrade the CPU heatsink to get a better OC. I might recommend a Cryorig air cooler (H5 Ultimate, R1 Ultimate, depending on what you can afford) as they look good in black/white cases. Seeing as you have Corsair LPX RAM, you will have no height clearance issues there. Maybe an AIO as well if you wanted to go that route (maybe a NZXT X61/X62?).

 

I would also recommend actually mounting that HUE+ to your 2.5" slot at the bottom of the case rather than letting it dangle there for no apparent reason. You may also wish to reroute your current heatsink fan cable to underneath the fan instead of overtop as it is in those pictures.... looks kinda weird. tuck that thing out of sight if you can =)

 

Beyond that there isn't really anything to add without considering a whole new rig. you have a pretty loaded system. Maybe some custom mods, spraypaint, cable extensions, or other aesthetic changes.... but no real huge upgrades to be had anywhere significant.

I have a H100i V2 myself and its nice. I just recommended the krakens since NZXT products tend to look pretty good together. whatever you decide, be sure to go with a 280mm radiator, as that would fit and look best in your build imo (as well as offer better performance than a 240mm)
