Hi guys,
So I've being contemplating on building a pc and have finally come to the conclusion of building it at the end of January. This is what I currently have and deciding if a white or black s340 elite would look best with the build. I'm also planning on getting an NZXT aer 140 and an aer120 for the top and the rear fan mounts. Also deciding if I want to get the NZXT hue+. Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated! (Price limit: $2700USD)

The mobo, ram and gpu are rgb sync via rgb fusion.

The case fans and aio via nzxt cam.
U can choose the case lightning color also.
I would prefer if you can do vertical mount for the gpu. Looks sick. Since that would cover most of the mobo, went with the cheaper gigabyte.

Dunno if mobo comes with a riser cable.
