Yeah it will be a good Black white theme. Most of the system will be blacked out, with some white accents on things like the ram and motherboard heatspreaders. Shouldn't be any other colors standing out, all black psu cables, RGB lights on the gpu so you can make those white. I would say its not worth the extra cash to go for the extra 40mm, it may make a difference of 2C. It would be more effective to get the 240 rad, and then get 2 fans to have push pull.But even then its a small difference.

The first list makes more sense, as you wont need that small extra radiator area on the h115, and will only make a pretty small difference. I would however go with the define r5 over that other case you have in the list with the h100i.

So I'm pretty sure that its black and white but just want someone else to go over it, Is this a blaack and white build or is there something that is like a weird off putting colour that is visible on this build
And one more thing does the extra 40mm of a radiator affect thermals too much is i will be overclocking to hopefully 4.5GHz or is it not worth the extra $30 AUD

2nd build, for case alone. The R5 is a great case, love mine.
I'd not recommend either cooler. That cpu won't get near hot enough to require what a h115 can handle, you'll barely need the h100i, but, those corsair fans are terrible. The h100i fans idle at 2100rpm or so, and can get much faster. Considering they are sucky, noisy fans to begin with, then push 2100rpm, the h100i is a noise factory. If you are determined to use liquid cooling (yeay! Hah) I'd opt for the nzxt Kraken X61 or swiftec h220-X/240-X

i want to keep the look of the cpu block but what fans would you suggest to use on the radiator because i am not spending another $50 aud on a cooler that i honestly dont like the look of.
i was thinking maybe the ML120's from corsair or the old SP120's, but tbh idk what fans are good and bad but dont want poopy coloured fans from noctua

sorry so late to reply but all the fans you suggested are not in my area of Australia, except the clear led NZXT ones that are not the right size, and if i get them shipped form the US it will cost me an arm and a leg.

Case Fan: NZXT RF-FN122-RB 45.0 CFM 120mm Fan ($13.00 @ PLE Computers)
Case Fan: CRYORIG QF120 Performance 83.0 CFM 120mm Fan ($15.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Case Fan: Phanteks PH-F120SP_WLED 54.4 CFM 120mm Fan ($19.00 @ PCCaseGear)

The references given are mostly for the fans themselves. You'll have local stores, online sites etc that in aussie you'll have greater access to than just the few sites pcpartpicker.com uses. It's entirely possible you can get those fans at a discounted price, on sale with a walkin vrs what shippers charge. There's a couple of stores in my town where I can get that Phanteks fan for @ $12, sometimes less, vrs the $19 newegg charges. In the States, we also have the day after Thanksgiving holiday deals, which get ridiculously great specials. Kinda like Boxing Day specials etc.
My dad lives in Sunbury, Victoria, and gets most of his electronics directly shipped from Singapore for ridiculous prices. He paid Au$4 for a special switch, which is the exact same as one in his local store for Au$38. Hong Kong is good for that too. He just had to wait 2 weeks for shipping vrs walkin out of the store, switch in hand.

Yeah sorry to be a pain, i do see what you were getting at though. And i know very rarely people get bad items from overseas but i just dont want to risk it as i may not be able to return the items to get a new one if they dont work.
Thankyou very much for your help you have saved my ears and all of the others in my house for that matter. Thanks again!
