I'm ordering all the parts from PC Case Gear.

The form factor is M-Atx.

I've tried to keep this build as orange as possible.

Here's the specs.

Case: Aerocool Dead Silence Cube Windowed (Orange)

MotherBoard: ASRock Z87M OC FORMULA Motherboard

RAM: G.Skill Ares F3-1600C10D-16GAO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3

CPU: i5 4670k

CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Water 3.0 Pro. I will be mounting 2 NZXT FZ orange LED 120mm fans on it, because i hear the stock fans are somewhat loud.

Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Toxic Edition 3GB

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1 Tb. I will invest in an SSD soon

PSU: Silverstone Strider Gold ST75F-GS 750W PSU

Additional cooling: 1 x 200mm NZXT FZ and 2 x 140 mm NZXT FZ (All orange LED)

That's about all.

I'd like to hear any thoughts you guys have on this build.

A pretty solid build :) one thing I will say if you want more bling factor for your case, there are 3 options nzxt h440 orange (man that case is sexy) aerocool predator or my personal favourite the Hec cougar which comes with 3 amazing sexy orange led fans which is just really athseticly pleasing with the flick power switch. Also in the future one thing you could do (if you wanted to upgrade to the green side) is to upgrade to a zotac gtx 780 or even a gigabyte r9 290/x or gtx 780/ti and go down the spray paint way of spray painting the side orange like linus tech tips did :) hope this helped-Le_Hazzard
