Hi, I was planning to build a gaming PC for my friend. He wants a case like a Prodigy, he wants also a black/green theme in his build. Please include a monitor, mice, keyboard, and headphones from Razer

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy Black
Fan: Bitfenix Spectre Pro 230mm
Led: Bitfenix Alchemy Connect Green

My advice: if you have that high of a budget and want to use this form factor, instead of liquid cooling the CPU, get a liquid cooler for the GPU. Or, if you can, get a 120mm LC for both the GPU and CPU. The main problem with these high end tiny FF rigs is the massive amount of heat they produce in such a small confined space. As for the rest of the build, PC part picker is pretty cool (http://pcpartpicker.com/). Or, if you can get someone to do all the work for you here, that is cool too.

Not the case your friend wants, but why not have one of the sleekest looking cases around in a $3k build? It also shows off that color scheme your buddy wants. That EVGA board and RAM are all black, while the LED on the 780 Ti is green and will pop out of this case.

Good advice.

Also, going this route allows your friend to run a pretty slick color setup on his water cooling gear.
