I decided that on my next PC that I want to be fancy and poo poo. Trying to do Black and White build which I assume is getting more and more common if not cliche by now. Main tasks are gaming @1440p and streaming. I do have an oculus coming my way too if that makes a difference. My issue is the board selection which limits my options. Don't really want to go past $200 so my options are these two: MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X ATX: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z170akraitgaming3x Asus Z170-PRO ATX LGA1151: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z170pro Right now I'm leaning towards the MSI board because the features seem similar to the Asus but a little bit cheaper. Current shopping list I have at the moment, I do have a MSI GTX 970 I'm going to use until the next gen cards out and see if I can find a white covered one for a decent price. Then going to throw that into the suitcase PC to make that one a portable VR machine.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Hmmm, black/white build eh? Here is a different take on that: Thanks for the suggestions on everything, especially the motherboard. I didn't even think about water cooling since I didn't see any white colored ones. Definitely looking into that now. Same with the SSD, I figured I was going to get either an Intel or Samsung in the end. The Ram and the PSU I will keep in mind too. I think I'm gonna lean towards keeping the case I want. I know its bigger than most cases and pretty loud, but I kinda want the color selectable LED lighting and the LED strip that can be used for it. Also definitely going to be using cable extensions on everything if possible so thanks for that too, I was leaning towards silverstone ones but that looks like the better deal and brand.

I'm trying to find a decent price on some white sleeving kits for my black and white build. I was going to order from Perfomance-Pcs.com but they're charging $16 for shipping a bunch of cables so gently caress that. Checking around Newegg and Amazon and found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812987035&cm_re=white_psu_cable_kit-_-12-987-035-_-Product Should this be fine? Will it not burn out my computer and house? The PSU I have is the EVGA Supernova 750W G2. I can actually get some offical ones from EVGA but they're almost cost as much as the PSU itself.

I'm pretty much done purchasing my parts for the build. The last thing I'm looking at is the 2nd HD. Right now I have a 500gb Samsung SSD as the main drive. Looking for something in the 3-4tb range for mostly media and more importantly running games and programs that I don't use as frequently. Is any 7200rpm drive good enough? Looking at the Western Digital Black and Blues and maybe even those hybrid drives that have come out the past couple years. I think the Seagate 4tb hybrid is at a decent price on amazon so I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on that.
