I currently have a MicroATX system, the massive cooler and the lack of distance between my PCI-E slots and the socket is causing my GPU to sag slightly. To avoid any damage (and as a good excuse to build more PC) I will be upgrading.

I will have about £1000 to spend on upgrades, currently I have a i7 3770k, a GTX770 and a Phanteks 14PE "XYZXY" -cant remember actual model no.

I will need to upgrade PSU, MOBO, Case and RAM.

I want to try and fit a second 770 in; or sell my current one and buy a better card like a 290x (but with a non-reference cooler - dont want a leafblower)

I also want to get either a 2560x1080p or 2560x1440p monitor.
I can sell off my old components for around £200 but would rather not spend this on upgrades too unless providing a significant bonus.

Having a colour theme is rather important to me:
A white or blue case with black white or blue interiors.

If that is too much to manage, anything that isnt red - so overused.
Lastly, I was thinking of either the Fractal design R4 or the 600t but I am open to suggestions for similarly sleek cases.

Is that the original?
Looks clean; is it 1x 140mm fan upfront, 2x 140 up top, 1x 200 and 2x 120 on side?

Could you make any suggestion towards the parts?
