65% keyboard reccomendations

[Iecape]

I'm kind of new to the keyboard world and want to get a 65 or 68% keyboard as my first one. I plan on doing a custom one with an aluminum frame. Some things that would be cool is underglow. I really like the look of exploded 65% as well. Any advice/reccomendations are appreciated! Also, should I get zealios v2 switches or glorious pandas?

Well I can't speak for exploded metal boards, but for entry I could recommend the KBD67 Lite, Ikki68 Aurora ​and the Portico.
One advantage for the KBD67 Lite is the metal case upgrade you coul purchase separately.

As for switches, while I havn't used them so take what I type with a grain of saly , the Zeal switches nowdays are considered very overpriced. 
For big tactiles, Holy Panda style tactiles I'd recommend the Boba U4T, aside for it's great tactility it's a phenomenal switch, feels very high quality.
