This is the 2nd build that's going to be built soon and I need tips if possible! My build is for gaming (Overwatch, pubg etc.) and I am a fan of Daredevil so my pc theme is going to be red/black. I have a few questions that I will constantly edit below:

BUILD: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/viviennequach/saved/FvcKZL (I already have my fans (120mm) and wifi card)

I do live in Australia so please note these are the places I will be doing my shopping:

https://www.scorptec.com.au/

Questions: 

1. What motherboard should I get? These in my mind at the moment. (Not a fan of micro ATX, but if necessary will consider)

- MSI Z370 Gaming Plus

- ASUS ROG Strix Z370-H 

- Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K3 Motherboard

- ASUS ROG Strix B350-F 

 

2. Personally, a fan of NZXT cases but there are limited red and black cases out there that would look better with this build please suggest in the comments.

Here are a couple of Red/Black cases that have come to mind:

What're you using this PC for? That'll affect what the community will recommend.

 

Also, I'd strongly recommend running a high-end air-cooler rather than a liquid. You could get something like the Noctua D15 which is more reliable, should get you about the same temperatures, and saves you twenty bucks. The only downside is that it would oppose your color scheme, but that could be fixed with a fan swap (Perhaps with different colored Noctua, Bequiet, or NoiseBlocker fans.
