So After having my first pc for about a year i want to build another but put more time into the look and make it decent in hardware. this pc will be used for gaming and normal pc use i want it to be as easy to switch out parts in the future as possible . i have the case already its a corsair Carbide Series Air 540 Arctic White High Airflow ATX Cube Case. im painting the thing to look like a health pack and the main color of the build is red and white. For one did I miss anything pc part wise besides the windows and or linux can i improve on anything my budget is $2300 the lower the better though. any parts you might have that match the color scheme better would be greatly appreciated as well.

$2300, get a smaller PSU EVGA G2 650w is plenty and a lot cheaper. Grab a 250/500gb SSD or even Crucial 525gb MX300. and a GTX 1080

Get a 650W G2, a GTX 1080, and don't buy Dominator Platinums, they are overpriced as hell.
