Build budget around 2000 USD including monitor.

Im trying to decide between the monitors in the parts list, I will only be getting one of them.

 

At this point Im really just looking for advice on asthetics (Motherboard, Case, Cables). If you were making this build, what would you change to help with the theme? I really wan't RGB, and I kinda like having a white and black base theme for the RGB to compliment well.

 

Thanks!

If this were me I would get a 7600k and a 1080 for gaming but if you are going to be doing more cpu intensive stuff the build looks pretty sick IMO.

You could also get some custom cables from cable mode so the psu cords look nice

Too much $$$ over 2000. Thanks!

the aoc monitor looks sleeker and will most likely perform better - i would get the g skill rgb led ram because you can have multiple colours instead of just one, cable mods and led strips are recommended along with the nzxt aer rgb fans - any colour goes well with a white and black build

The AER fans would be too much ($2100). Any idea on how to fit them in?

Can the cooler fit? Can the radiator go on the front inside of the case?

And the AER fans are 120mm while the Kraken x62 is 240mm.
