In creating this post I want to know this: Is the build what some of you would call a "good build?" I know I've over spent on this build and I don't care that I have. I want to see what your opinions were or if you don't like this build at all and had something better in mind then link me a list!

All I ask is that it has a color scheme


I created this build to replace my current gaming PC. The build below is what I have been thinking about. The most important thing to me this time is having a color scheme. I didn't go with a color scheme on my first build and I regret that. I know it's not important to most people, but I have to look at my PC anytime I use it and I think it looks bland. Due to the way my desk is set up my PC sits on top of my desk about a foot from me. So on my next build I want something that is some serious eye candy.

Budget:My budget is roughly $3,800 but if it's a $100 or so over the budget I won't mind.

Peripherals: I don't require anything. I already have mouse, keyboard, monitors, headset, etc.

ive got nothing for a build but i have a tip for you. dont go looking for the most expensive components and add them to your cart. take time and see what you actually need and you might be in a better money situation. i was also flattered to know i had an expensive pc but only for a temporary time and i realized i did not need every expensive part i purchased. for most 4000 builds there is usually a custom water cooler built in, that consumes some cash. for color schemes, a custom loop is very useful. get a dual gtx 980ti with a good 6 core intel processor. thats all i got for an expensive build.
