Hi guys, I know some of you here don't like building colored pc builds cause it takes out the max value of the pc in order to reach the desired colored pattern but but I would really like a nice colored pc build

Black/blue
or
Full white
or
Black/orange

I'm not very good with pc hardware so it's challenging for me to create such a build so I'm asking experts here.

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: This week

Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping

2000$ USD

System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Folding@Home, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies) : 1440p hardcore gaming

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing)

Ncix ( I'm canadian)

Location: Montreal,Canada

Parts Preferences: don't care

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440

Additional Comments: Need a window case with leds matching the collor pattern.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm giving my current PC to my bro and I want a new one.

Black/Blue is pretty easy.

Full white is usually very expensive, and if you want current gen parts, I'm not sure they are available just yet.

Black/Orange might be possible, not sure on the GPU front, I know there are some decent motherboards.

I'll give it a go for each, might be a while.

Black/Blue: GTX1080 are roughly $900-1100 CA depending on the model.

You can pick up a blue PSU cable set from Corsair direct, or get a more customized look from Cablemod.

EVGA classifed is also offering RGB LEDs as well. Whichever can be had first really. Not been doing a good job keeping any of these things in stock.

Black/Orange build you can basically buy right now. Again, PSU cable sets are available:

Doesn't appear to be any Orange memory in Canada that I can find, but you can shop around. Fairly black build except for the case.

Would probably need a pile of white LED fans to go with these, or a light strip. I'm not much of a shopper for things like that, but they are out there with all kinds of options for RGB LED kits, florescent tubes, neon tubes, EL wire, etc.

Power supply is super overkill, try to keep an eye on the 750W Silent snow edition to see if it comes back in stock.
