I'm not particularly concerned with aesthetics unless i can improve it at the same price (I'm using blue fans not the red and white in this part list)
My main concern is at my graphics card choice, should i go for something else for high settings on 1080p and with the possibility of later adding a second card in SLI for possible 1440p or 4k. from my research the evga gtx 970 ssc is the best choice as amd do not seem to compete on price/ temp and power as well as speed
