I really want to build a system that would have decent esthetics inside the case but to do that I would want to match the Noctua fans with the colors. It really is for the peace of mind that when someone comes over I can show them a nice looking system that I have. Keep in mind that I have max 1700 - 1800 hundred dollars for the build. I won't be doing much video editing on this system, maybe some gameplay montage. Two components that I want to pick out for you is the EVGA GTX 780 SC/ ACX COOLER and the Core i5 - 4670k Haswell processor.

Noctua have released black fans, do you really want a brown pc or would you rather go for the new black Noctua fans? I don't see many part match the Noctua theme, maybe the ASUS TUF series motherboards is the closest to a match.

The black fans are very expensive. Not only that, but they are also loud. If anything I would use the redux fans, which use the gray colors. I'm just so impatient about waiting for them to come to US :p Do you have any idea when that might be?

Yeah they are industrial grade fans spinning at 3000 RMP. You must be death not to hear them, and irrational to buy them for your consumer grade PC :p Server yes. The redux fans look HEAVENS better than any of their other fans. I'm very impatient and want to have an option to have a good looking system in case the Redux fans take longer than expected to arrive. Here is an example of these new fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIbzW5MARvc I really like this color theme. Never seen anything like it :D And the price is so quite better.

Was actually the fan i was talking about, though i see now they have a more gray theme.
It really depends on your case & cpu cooler whether you can get all gray fans, since there's no static pressure 120mm fan, which you'll need for a watercooler or for the front of your case (for the front you can probably fit a single 140mm but it's not going to be as good as 2x120mm.
