How it looks is important to me will it look good with cables sorted and all? (Gone for blue and black theme and plan to include some cold cathodes aswell)

Apart from that thanks for reading this is my first time building and I am pumped to get started :D

Spend less on the PSU and more on the video card. Corsair Professional series are fantastic PSUs, but not really worth that kind of premium (from a gaming perspective). A TX750-V2 or Silencer Mk.II or XFX Pro Core will do just fine.

Edit: Keep in mind the Phantom doesn't have a side window, so unless you take the panel off you won't be able to see the inside of the case. You'll also want a heatsink for that 2500k.
