Themed PC builds (some help needed)

Alright so i'm finally going to build a new PC after 5 years of using a shit tier laptop and so I decided to go with a theme of black and white.

Here are the specs:

CPU: Intel core i7 4790k

Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

RAM: (I want to go with a white themed RAM kit of 16gb, prefferably 8x2, but I cant find much so some help required there)

CPU Cooler: Corsair H110

Storage: WD Blue 1TB HDD

            : Samsung 850 EVO 120gb SSD

GPU: MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G

PSU: Corsair CX Series 600W 80+ Bronze Certified (Would help if somone recommended a white variant)

Case:( Pending but would prefer it if someone could recommend a cheap-y white full tower).

 

I'm building this on a somewhat tight budget and want this to last me a while (I don't see my self upgrading this build in the near future) and I intend to do gaming, game design, video editing and animation on it. 

 

You guys could post your themed builds too and maybe help me in looking for a case!

If you want , you can save on the gpu and get a R9 290/x , and with the saved $$$ you can get a H440 ( I love it )

The H440 makes it so that the color of the psu doesn't matter .

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

"Like" comments to show your support of them or the idea they express.

Just a small correction, when referring to "2 sticks of 8gb each", use 2x8. 8x2 means "8 sticks of 2gb".

 

Anyway, where are you located? And what's your budget?

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
