Help me plan.

[EvanPcBuilding]

Current Rig that's being planned: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EvanBuildingPC/saved/xBBgLk

 

Budget: $1900 (Maximum. Lower by 100 if possible.)

 

     I have a question on what I could upgrade on w/o excluding the RGB and the case.

Also, how many radiators would this need in the case I want to purchase. There should be sufficient air flow as well as a good look to it.

I'm not sure on how to make a build like this. Overall, I just want a good looking, semi-overkill performance and good air flow with a budget.

I'm not planning to add a SLI and I still don't know if I have enough fans to keep the system cool. I would also like to stick with my current case. Any new suggestions? Thanks. (I also realized that the Router is in my room lol. I can just use ethernet and no need for BT.)

Usually adding RGB strips to your system will be a lower cost option to improve the aesthetics of your system. unless you want to make everything that you can be RGB.

a good 550w unit is enough, avoid the G3 since it has issues with protections.

Considering you're using an AIO cooler, one.

>That case

Pick one.
That case is almost entirely closed off from intake except for a small, narrow gap on the sides. The RGB fans at the front are essentially rendered Christmas lights... Which is probably why they don't bother including a dust filter for the front intake. Thankfully though a dust filter is included for the exhaust fans, so at least you won't be blowing all the dust that your computer sucks in (what it can through the restricted airflow) back in to the room.

Phew I was stuck on the radiators question for ages...Thanks! Also I would take good airflow over the case. I've updated my build to this and extended my budget. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EvanBuildingPC/saved/xBBgLk . If possible could you help me find a case that has both good air flow and good looks.

I've updated the build. Please look into what I can chop down w/o losing performance or better. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EvanBuildingPC/saved/xBBgLk

The clue is that you have an All-In-One cooler. You only have the one radiator that is connected to the AIO that comes with the package.

Are you sticking to the 360mm AIO from Thermaltake? You could get a 240mm for half the price. That may influence what cases you can and can't get as well, as not all cases support 360mm radiators.
Does it have to have a glass front panel? Most of the cases with glass front panels have restricted air flow to some degree.

You're missing the case from that and it's already over your original budget. Once you add in the cost of a case you could end up a fair bit over your budget. Just something to keep in mind.

In all  honesty I have almost no clue what I'm doing considering this is my first build. But, I would like a case with some fans and RGB. Other than that, anything would work.

[EvanPcBuilding]

So, I've got about $120 dollars that I would like to spend extra on a Black/White case w rgb or White Led fans.

If you want a white case then look at maybe the Fractal Design Meshify C (White, tempered glass) which is about $90. It doesn't come with RGB fans so if you want them you will need to add them yourself. It fits a 360mm in the front intake slot but only 240mm on the top. So if you have preference for your radiator to be mounted as exhaust and not intake then you might need to swap the AIO for a 240mm or find another case.
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/meshify/meshify-c-white-tg
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/meshify/meshify-c-tg (also available in black)

There's also the Cooler Master H500P Mesh White which comes with RGB fans (two large 200mm at the front), but it costs more at around $150. It does support 360mm rad at both the top exhaust and front intake.
http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase-h500p-mesh-white/

 

Both those cases have mesh front panels which allows much better air flow than the closed off tempered glass panel fronted cases with narrow slots for air flow.
There's probably a heap of others that could be suitable for your needs but I haven't paid much attention to the case market for a while so I'm not sure what is out there at the moment.

it's fine, though i'd get an asrock K6 instead.

Could you tell me whats the difference? A pro/con comparison would be appreciated.

it has dual bios to make it easy to recover from a failed BIOS update and a debug LED to help diagnose issues with the system.

[EvanPcBuilding]

Overall is there a good case with good airflow for this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EvanBuildingPC/saved/xBBgLk
