Congratulations on your build, I'm sure it will give you many, many hours of great gaming.

Sorry about your damaged 8350. I remember when I build my first PC that the guy at the store where I bought my mobo and CPU told me that they could put the CPU on the socket for me. I actually thought about it for a sec, but I said no. I was like "If I'm building my PC, I'm building it, not anyone else. Even if that meant damaging something." Luckily everything went fine.

 

But I have to make it note. You went with the RED team (AMD) and choosed a RED case... and then you went with a blue motherboard?! Silly you, you should have gone with a Red/Black ASUS' Republic of Gamers mobo and red RAM sticks (Kingston or G.Skill) to make the build match.

Yeah the color matchup was a mess. I'm rusty at these things and didn't know that there's all sorts of different colors and LEDs nowadays.

I just bought the case with the color I wanted and then put the parts I wanted without knowing anything about LED lighting.

I fought all mothaboards were blue nowadays. At least all the models I considered were blue, even the ASUS ones (M5A99FX PRO and Sabertooth).

Do you mean I could have gotten a set up with all red colors including the LED lighting?

When it comes to the mobo and RAM,

Mobo: Asus Crosshair V FORMULA

RAM (an example): G.Skill Ripjaws X

About the LEDs, there's nothing you can do about it without modding. You can de-solder the ones that come with the case and solder another LEDs of the colour you want (big balls if you go this route), or if that's too much for you, you can do other, less radical things like installing red cathodes (like this or this one) that you only have to connect to a Molex plug or use a LED strip of the colour you want (like this one), that uses one PCI slot.

That sounds too complicated for me!
