I'm fine with the ram changes.
But the GPU you have is just... really needlessly expensive.
Also you have to keep in mind you're really only going to see the "top" of the GPU, not the fans so much. The one I put in there is mostly black on the top (actually more than that asus) and also has RGB lighting on it so you can make it a blue light.


And well, actually the build is like 99% black colored.

The Asus higher clock rates are extremely easy to set yourself on the GPU I gave as well.

Your parts weren't really the best for their cost, so I redid them a bit to get you a nicer case, 16gbs of ram, a better quality PSU, and more SSD storage:
Still kept in under $1200, use the $100 left over from your budget for a good Keyboard and mouse.

That article is kind of a bad example, as those are benchmark/stress test games and not... games people actually play.

A 1070 can easily get above 90FPS in most games, you'll have to play with the settings if you want to maintain that or go higher though.

I was pointing out that a 90FPS minimum is an unrealistic goal on every single solitary game ever created.
