Basically I want the build to be black and red, anyone know if I can get any components for Red&Black for around the same price, and will this be ok? Want to run GTA IV on it, thats about it apart from MW3 probably.

Missed the Lancool DragonLord PC-K62 red interior :) Maybe you can find it somewhere else.

NzXT red. Bitfenix Colossus. Although tbh they are pretty garish. The Lancool is all right though.
Will take a look at them

*Edit: Took a look and I have threw up.
that MOBO will look tiny in that case as its m-atx

Well what motherboard would you suggest? :(
 
Might drop the Z68 and go for the Asrock Fatal1ty Intel P67 as I don't see how the Z68 Chipset will actually help me in any way.
 
I looked at that but apparently it wasn't as quiet as hoped.

What paint would I need to spray a fan? It can't be that hard?
 
I'm happy with this motherboard etc, that CPU Cooler is hot.
I've suggested some Red Vengeance, if they don't I'll have to get it elsewhere.

If I could afford one of them I would have one, I looked at the case :(.

What I have atm as I have been away since the 31st:

Nah I really want the 100% Modular to get best airflow and to make it look tidy :D And I don't really want to get caught up with having to buy a new win 7 every time I need a fresh install.
 
Someone recommend me a nice power supply that will be ok to hide in the 650D, I was gunna get the 100% Modular from Corsair but at £120 for 750W its a little too much
 
I might just settle for the fully modular and fix my aunties computer as I'm only really going to need 2x PCI-E Cables, 2x Sata Power, 24 Pin and 8 Pin connectors, and them lot always come with loads and people complain about the room in the 650D behind the motherboard and room is something I want for my first lets buy components and stick them all together build.
