Project Black Ice

This is my current build, hoping to upgrade to Ryzen and replace my FX-8350, get an AIO, M.2 SSD, and RGB DDR4 RAM

Also planning to use White Plasti Dip on the interior of the case so the lighting is brighter, getting an RGB GPU Backplate by V1 Tech, getting top fan filters by DEMCI Filter, and buying or fabricating a PSU Shroud
