If you're willing to give up the shiny aspect a bit this would slaughter it for the same money

Performance > Aesthetics. Also the NZXT S340 is still a really nice case, add in those RGB fans and it will look great.

Ditto, cut back on RGB, it's a cash killer.
You can do it for a bit cheaper though.
@SupaHos, those RAM sticks are blue, don't fall for that trap! 😛

They may be blue but they're lower cl and cheaper

 

[Chugalug_]

Personally i'd rather spend a bit more to get a color coordinated build without the smurf! 😀
I suppose it's fine if @OP's alright with it.

 

[BuzzinBee]

well if i'm not gettin RGB i at least want a colour scheme rather than just a monstrosity to look at

 

[Chugalug_]

I've sorted you out on that front, the mobo has glowing LEDs on it, and there's some RGB fans in there.
See what I posted above, still the same price.

 

[BuzzinBee]

yeah, i was gonna go for a blue build so it doesnt really look too good to me and the graphics card is fully white :/

 

[Chugalug_]

A blue build isn't really possible tbh, and most of the time ends up looking forced and strange.
This is the best I can do for you, I thought you wanted RGB??
You have to do a white motherboard in that case, and no blue GPUs on the market except the Palit Gamerock.
