Hey guys. Looking for your input on this build but I have a few questions.

Here's the build I'm looking at:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/KzgPf8

I have 32gb of RAM selected which is complete overkill for a gaming PC, I did it purely for asthetics. The way that RAM is designed, it'll give a red and white stripe look.

The case will be the new Corsair 460x, basically a tempered glass version of the 400C. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain the Gigabyte Gaming 7 is an EATX board? Curious how cramped it would be in that case if thats right.

Also, I know the 860 watt PSU is overkill for now but I plan on adding another GALAX HoF edition 1070 in the future. That would be more than enough for that.

As far as LED/RGB, what fans provide decent light and color accuracy? I've been looking at the Hue+ from NZXT, Corsair LED fans, and Enermax TB Vegas fans. As far as LED strips, any help there would be appreciated.

Thoughts?

You have 2 coolers on there, which one do you recommend? And what is the difference in PSUs?

Here's what you can do for that price.
If you want a pretty PC rather than a performing one, that's a different thing, but if you want a great looking PC with very meh performance over a PC with more than twice the performance, there's some priority issues there...

I would hardly call 1070s in sli meh performance. I want it look good but still perform well. That build is amazing but pushing the limits of my budget. I neglected to mention that I guess in the OP. The build I have is almost maxed already. As far as Led fans or rgb strips, which brand would suggest for brightness and color accuracy?

It's a single 1070, hence why I said performance is poor for the money.
@OP, if you want, spend a bit more to get the case you want, but this is the best possible performance you're going to get in that price range. ;)
