Hey there. Looking to build a new pc and I need some help picking it out. I am thinking about building it around a GTX 1070 and an Intel 6600k. Not to knowledgeable about mobo's or PSU's, but I would prefer a fully modular one, (I would pay extra for it). Thanks in advance!

Color matched except for the cooler (one that would not clash is either more difficult to work with or more expensive).

ASROCK Gaming K4 is an excellent overclocker; testing on Toms shows that it can hold an i7k at 4.6Ghz, so you're guaranteed on that front. Together with high end audio + more than enough fan headers for a non-sli build (again, board that is both good at overclock as well as support for sli would be more expensive).

Avexir Core providing red LED with breathing effect adding extra wow with the side window of the Phanteks P400 (and both of them are having promotions, $5 gift card with the Avexir and $10 promo code for the Phanteks).
