There is a lot of difference in 850 and 950 m.2. 850 read/write only up to 550MB/s while 950 can hit 2GB/s.

The closest red/white motherboard theme you can get is the Gigabyte Gaming 7/ GT or G1.

those are atx boards right? am actually like at matx boards

Oh yeah! Forgot that you are looking at mATX board. You can try Gigabyte z170MX - Gaming 5 then. Closest to the theme you wanted.

Or Asus Maximus VIII Gene (no white accent though).

budget burst, sian

only way around is if i'm able to find the older maximus vii gene instead, might be cheaper. and using avexir ram for the led lights and hopefully its cheaper

Bro.. You should list down the all individual items with a price beside them..
So others maybe want to recommend the alternative that value for money.

To cut down on the list to hit budget, you don't have to get Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming. Just get a Palit/Zotac GTX970 will do. Work as well. As for the RAM, just switch to Kingston Value RAM and you are good to go.

$2796 I can get GTX980 Ti built with i7-6700k processor. Lol.

If you care about looks you wont be getting the gigabyte GTX970 gaming liao.

You would have gotten a strix to match ur mobo.

gene vii is not skylake, it is using the 4***/3*** series of chipset, 1150 socket. skylake is using 1151 socket

The psu is overkill. 600w is enough.

with that price on the 970 i would rather opt for the R9 nano with is a small card.
