Alright so I am looking to build my first PC with a i7 7700k and a Geforce GTX 1080 ti being the specs but I want this build to be more than just a powerhouse build I am looking to make this thing look amazing with a black and white theme majority being black with the other half being white so I am looking to purchase the Corsair H100i v2 as my CPU cooler but I look to do some custom mods to it with it only coming in black and grey so I would like for me the logo to be white then area outside of the logo on the CPU block I would want to paint that to either black or white I know this area can be custom painted the problem is I should go black to maintain the balance of black and white not overlapping with colors so if I were to put that in black that would be fine right.. No because the area outside of that is also black which means it would go white logo-black outside of that to black outside of that so conventionally this isn't somewhere that you would custom paint but after watching a video or two I know this is possible with some masking tape and some more paint so what should I go with considering the logo is white? White-Black-White or White-Black-Black which would overlap colors or maybe just stay with the current way it would come out in the box, which would look better in your opinion any suggestions or videos that can help me please link me. Thank you. THIS IS THE PART LIST https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

You should use caps and use a period humans read that too.

 

 

There's only 7 words. Not even considered a full sentence if you are that into grammar.

I can't read this, I am too lazy to get my glasses so when I read this the lines cross and intersect. What is your budget for the whole system.
