Ofcourse not. During a gaming session I will not suddenly look through my case window (If i had one) going "OMG THAT LOOKS SO GOOOOOOD".

 

You buy a pc for function, not form. That's my stance on it

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

YES. Colors must match or I will not buy the part. I know, it's stupid, but that's just how my brain works.

Depends on how much money I have, if I have the money of course i'll make it all look super nice with colours and such but if I'm not going to sacrifice performance for it so if I don't have the money to make everything the same colour while keeping the performance up nah i'll just get a non-windowed case

Yes and no, if there is great deal on an item I will get it as long as it's not bright orange lol. I don't like bright colors but I have a black and blue mobo with a green logo graphics card and I did have a psu with a blue light because I got that old thing for a good deal  but recently changed that.

Yes. Even if there is no window. I hate when Linus puts a yellow GPU with a green GTX logo on a red mobo with the H100i on blue in a white case.

If it's windowed, slightly if i'm spending a fair bit of money on it (of course i don't want it to be fuck ugly)

If it's not windowed, i don't go out of my way to spend more money on getting a colour scheme going.

I'd like to colour match my build, but at the end of the day function over form is the case with me. However, that doesn't mean I won't go out of my way to find something that matches the rest of the build at the sacrifice of a bit of performance.

If I had a window maybe I would care. Don't have one on my R4 so I could care less.

No, I don't care about color coordination when it comes to PCs. I prefer my PC to be as invisible as possible, too. On peripherals I always turn to the lighting to as low as possible (or off unless it looks weird).

Certainly yes. I would never buy computer parts with different color schemes.

I try my best to keep the color coordinated. But not really a issue for me.

Yes, for me personally I like to keep the color palette of not just my pc the same, but everything around it too. I based my colors off of the Razer Deathadder/Blackwidow which I own, so I like to keep everything green, but I am not too fussy about it, as I am soon going to buy an 120hz monitor which has blue highlights, but I don't really mind :)

A little, if the cost difference is not too high.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

IMO if you spend a lot on a fast pc it should look good too

It's definitely preferred, but not required. I am going to try to color coordinate my build a little better next time though. I have a blue motherboard with an ugly brown PCB while the rest of my build has black tubing with red compression fittings.

Pro-tip: Here's something a lot of people don't know - Having you color coordinated your PC, it gains you +1ghz on both your cpu and gpu speeds

 

I keep a folder of sexy computers on my pc. They all have at least an 8ghz CPU clock speeds because of all dat color coordination

If I had a windowed PC and the money, it'd matter somewhat. If I was balls-to-the-walls with cash, I'd build something powerful with matching colo(u)rs. At the moment my PC is down by the side of my desk and I never notice it in peripheral vision, only when turning it on/off or hard restarting it.

 

At the end of the day, it's a PC, not a woman.

Considering my case doesn't have a window, no...  I probably wouldn't have purchased a 200R as a case if I was concerned about looks.

I would like for them to match, but as it stands i'm probably going to buy whatever will work at the lowest price.

 

I may decide to wait if it will look horrible, but it doesn't have to be perfect
