Build looks good, I am planning a similar build in a Fire MI-6. Same motherboard and CPU anyway, although I many wait until Intel releases the B360 motherboards.
I have owned a few of Asrocks lower end motherboards and one of the things I never liked was the cheap IO shields they use. I have a Z270 Fatal1ty and it has a much nicer padded one, I think they should all be like that.

The wood type is Wenge which is rare but without the card I have no idea what # it is.
Beautiful job!
Beautiful job!
this is a very clean build! that NHL9i fan does indeed look GREAT with the wood front panel!

Those screws were grade 11 and cost a billion dollars, but if you want something effectively the same but affordable check these out:

This is one of my favorite colors. It doesn't photograph well but in person it is absolutely svette.

This build is beautiful! I love the paint job great color. Did you get inspiration from Josh for the color or did you just find it on your own? I have something similar in color planned for mine but I choose a more shiny version then yours and a wood front.
Edit: I forgot to add how happy are you with the 8400 for games? I’m thinking about getting that just for cost savings as I have a 1080 Mini instead of a 1070 for my 1440p ultrawide. I had a 8700k but for cost and heat savings I went for the 8600k but I could save $30 more for the 8400. I play a lot of GTA and Battlefield 1 so I eat cpu’s pretty heavy.

I usually run with i7’s and if they can keep up with that load in game then I’ll be fine! I personally like the wetstone midnight wrinkle 2. I have a 1080 mini so that will help my ultrawide I just can’t play at 60 FPS lol. I’m too used to high refresh.
