Starting a new job soon that pays a lot more so I can afford to splurge on a new build. Also wanted something really themed, don't have anything expect an SSD to reuse as I sold my old PC to a mate. Thinking to spend around £1,100~ now and then save up in the future for a nice Gsync monitor. Only need the tower for now and I will be gaming at 1080p till I get a new monitor, also have a copy with Windows 8.1 that I never used since I've switch to OSX recently.

This is what I have in my mind currently, and I'll just add in my Samsung 840, not 100% sure if I want a white/black case yet will need to ponder on that. Also might drop down to i5 as I don't think I really need the i7 but I sort of have budget for it.

Went over a little but, it'll look awesome.
Orange is subtle but will stand out the most against the black motherboard and black GPU PCB.
 
Thanks for the build guys, given me a lot too think about.

@TheReaperGuy Do I really need so many fans, I'm sure the case ones are fine, is it to do with noise?

Click to expand...

The ones in the case are OK, but are quite loud + with the SP & AF's you can spray the rings orange which look awesome, plus are almost silent and much better performance.
 
I've been thinking about this today and I actual want a White Luxe, then I can spray some of the mesh bits orange, and also keep the SOC (I know the BK has a lovely deal :() and try and spray that white too and get a decent white/orange theme going along. Ram wise I think I'm going to try and find a nice orange Avexir set.
