Exceeded budget to get in nice peripherals. Black/red theme. GPU with backplate. Lovely monitor with basic speakers, headset for better sound/privacy. Red LED RAM.

Probably could do with some white LEDs to highlight the parts through the window. And a couple of fans could be added to the front of the case later on to assist with cooling (if you find it's necessary).

Same but with a 280 to bring it closer to budget, not too far off the 280X, and good enough for most gaming @ 1080p/60Hz. It also has a nice backplate.

Swap 550W PSU for a 750W if you may add a second GPU in future. Although should probably get better case for that, at the same time.

will it still be compatible if i change the case to bit fenix neos and the gpu to gtx 770? and if i 2 fans can the psu handle it?

 

[caliprince002]

how can i place my basket?

 

[stulid]

The Neos is not as good, it has a single fan and no grommets where the cables go through.

Some changes from your system, a GTX 770 is not really a match for an R9 280X in price/performance

Also Neos + SuperFlower PSU = No, or at least I don't recommend it
The cables are quite thick, and routing them behind the motherboard tray is very very hard, I couldn't get the side panel to shut afterwards

If you swap the Neos for the Antec One and Win8.1 (it is a faster OS) then you will be on to a winner with that spec.
