at this point i am mostly trying to squeeze out as much power as i can for around the same price. I am also trying to stick to a colour scheme of white, black and red. i just would like to know if there is anything that can be changed( this is my first stab at building a pc and some things might be overkill)? i am happy with the CPU, GPU and case + fans but i am not sure whether corsair vengence lp would suit the build more. also the cooler and the psu might be overkill but thats why i am here. so, is there any thing i can do to get the same( or better) performance for the same or lower price? Also, due to this being my first build i would like to stay away from water cooling, but if you could explain to me why i should use it, it would be greatly appreciated.
