I could make use of the grey ones for the clear side of my C70 case, though the black coloured one would be ideal to match the black fans already inside my current rig, though the noise would become an issue. I have no pads inside or out of the case to dampen the noise.

I have the army-green C70 case. The classic brownish Noctua fans actually suit it colour-wise.

Not sure on the VA type though, what are the downsides of VA compared to TN and IPS?.

Ghosting.

It does have advantages over TN and IPS, but that's it's biggest weakness.

I'll also be going for a gaming chair since the current office wheelie one is doing my back in. A new KB+M is also in the works , I'm basically going all out on a new rig/setup, minus the PSU/Case.

Same. Staggering my upgrade though so the bank account doesn't look depressing.

Damn, I do dislike ghosting to a degree, though I dislike crushed blacks and colour banding all the more. There doesn't seem to be that great a deal of options for the 1080p line of G-sync monitors that aren't sold out. That and some of them end up having tradeoffs, as if there isn't one out there that doesn't have one big weakness. 

I can take the hit on my account for now, though I'll be spending the rest of the year and next to make up for the slight hole.

 

I guess I could go for those grey fans, they are cheaper than say the BQ ones which go for £20 a pop for the 120mm version, so with them i'd end up spending £60 with P&P on top as well. The Grey ones are like £11 a pop, which is much cheaper. I've not got any RGB inside the case and it's all black inside and out as well as it not being in a position to really show anything off. I wouldn't mind going with the grey ones tbh.

 

Edit: I did just notice that they do a bundle of 3 120mm BQ fans for £49.86 rather than paying £60, so there is some money to be saved there and I do need 3 of them.
