I’m planning on buying the nzxt hue+ with 2 aer fans in the near future. The problem with that is I have to buy the nzxt usb 2.0 hub as well. Rgb isn’t my priority right now, first of all I need a graphics card lol

Pretty good, actually.

 

Just a tip, you want to position the LED strip(s) so the diodes do not face outwards, but in towards the components.

For an example (Not my rig; can't get good lighting at the moment)

EDIT:

 

My white S340 Elite system.

There is one long daisy-chained LED strip that goes all the way around -- the blade of the tempered glass panel hides it pretty good, so you just see the light, and not the little bulbs.

My Phantek Enthoo Luxe system

You actually don't really see the little LED bulbs at are on the right-hand side of the case in-person; the camera is picking them up quite a bit.

One long daisy-chained LED strip that goes from the entire top, to the right, and half way across the bottom.

You would want another led strip on bottom of case, above PSU.

put more effort on cable managements.

Also delid the cpu.

you have the budget so add a sata ssd~500gb for faster file transfer, NVME to trad HDD = max speed of HDD only.

Performance wise, looks really solid. You could try to OC the i7-8700K to 5GHz. I got mine stable at 5.2GHz 1.37V for 24/7 use but you might have to delid it. 

Aesthetics wise, you could try repositioning the LED strip so that the diodes face the components as mentioned above. If you want more RGB I'd say replace the black fan with something else but get something that adds diffused lighting instead of direct.

Could use a white AIO Sleeving from cable mod to match the white bar of the case.
