I need help for a theme build that I want to do. Looking for Mini ITX/Mini ATX as the maximum size (something I can put on a desk and look at and admire)

Something like this is what I want it to look like: http://thegametechnician.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Modders-Inc-Final-5.jpg

Something kind of flashy but something that also looks really sleek and nice. Water Cooling is not required (and I'm still a little scared about trying it, but it does make a build look really good.) so whatever cooling you guys think for the CPU would make sense as far as Price😛erformance:Looks would help me out a lot.

As far as budget is concerned, I'd like to keep it under $1,000. I plan on selling my current gaming computer to try and cover some of the costs of this upgrade.

Here's what I've kind of been looking at:
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117563
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128844
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232243
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150759 or an Nvidia GTX 1070 when they're released

For cases I've been looking at the Cube shaped ones, but still haven't found anything that matched the White/Red I'm really looking for. I'd like to try and keep the case price below $100 ($80 or less would be even better).

I'm going to order this around my birthday and if I haven't sold my other computer yet, I plan on gifting it to my friend for his birthday. So I have about 2-3 months before I start ordering this.

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions you give me!
 
I recently suggested a build similar to this for someone else. Maybe you can get some ideas from it.

That helps a bit. I'd still like something as close to the linked picture and small enough to fit on my desk. I actually saw a deal on newegg for a black and white LGA 1151 Mobo today. Might have to keep that linked for future references.
 


I didn't even realize that the case and components were that modded out. Thank you for pointing that out!
 
Here's something that would do nicely.
It's a white cube like case with red, black and white accents inside based the selection of components.

The extra fan included is to replace the fan that comes with the cooler as the one bundled with the cooler is black and the extra fan is white. It's optional though but it will compliment the GPU, RAM and Motherboard accents as they all contain elements of white and red.

Hope that helps!
 
(just testing to see if my permissions got fixed, apologies for the bump.)
