MSI Krait - low cost build

So MSI came to me a little while back and asked if Id be able to chuck something together for them featuring the Z97 Krait board I had and the MSI GTX960 thats got the white accents.
The idea would be carefully chosen parts for someone thats not got an unlimited budget but still have a system to be proud of, would stand out at a lan and be total eye candy.

Obviously the theme of the rig is black and white and there are some really great options for hardware out there. Here is a look at the core MSI components

Moving on past this there was only one choice of case that stays perfectly on point with price, features and looks and thats the NZXT white S340. Its a perfectly ballanced mix of black and white

From here on in I decided some Kingston HyperX Fury in Black and white were the perfect match and cooling wise the Corsair H100i fit nicely in the front and I had just removed one from the GPU bench rig that was going spare so it found its way instantly into this little sideline build.

Now at this point it all looks rather lush, and pretty much anyone that likes the colour scheme would be more than happy with it. I did think I needed to take things a step further though so I started doing a bit of research and ending up stumbling on this..... The external white panels are being done atm and I will have some epic pictures for you shortly!
