Any thoughts on build?

Solution
Both are absolutely awesome built boards. Can't go wrong with either one from a function standpoint. The monitor and motherboard have no reason to be the same brand. Those are pretty good monitors.

The only thing for sure is the memory swap. The rest just look around for builds and see which you like the looks of best.

You don't want to mix 2 kits of higher end ram or it may not work at rated speeds.

I personally like gigabyte's rgb stuff better but there's nothing inherently wrong with your gpu/board

That case looks pretty awesome lit up.

About the motherboard your recommending, is it better for gaming or just the RGB, cause I'm using an Asus monitor so I thought it would be good to use an Asus motherboard, but hey what do I know as this is my first build.
