To be honest, its ok to pay for aesthetics if u have a windowed casing and the budget (which in this case i think u have sufficient budget given what your looking for).

Anyway consider getting your full rig from PCthemes if u asking them to do installation,

i5-4460+H97I-Plus ITX - 439
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB - 179
Kingston HyperX Fury 1866MHz CL10 8GB - 109
Corsair 250D - 139
Superflower Leadex 550W Gold - 129
MSI GTX970 4GB Gaming - 579
Corsair H80i GT - 152
Total - $1726
Ask for discount since getting full rig from them

If you are diy-ing urself, can consider getting full rig from tradepac, they should be able to quote you a lower price then other stores (especially full rig setups).

imho though, if ur diy-ing urself, should really consider getting everything other than CPU+mobo from lazada/rakuten... probably can save another $100-$200... then just head down to get the CPU & mobo (and case fans or other things u might need)

Oo.. Almost identical to what i was recommending...

Got any pics for that?

250d. better airflow. can even fit twin radiator. not tat it really matters but nice to have this option. and of course, it looks great but tats subjective.
