My Black and White Build

[BostonBoston]

I have recently upgraded my PC and by upgrade I only saved the GPU.

 

The highlights are a 3600x and a 2070 super, deep details can be found on my profile, slightly less details on the PCPartpicker.

Before you comment on price, I did not pay the advertised price, I already had the GPU and had a few price matches (got my parts at Microcenter) 

 

Yes I could have squeezed out more performance for what I paid and if i sold my GPU to get a 2080, but I am okay with a 2070 super and aesthetics are important to me so i wanted matching parts, which is one reason my mobo is so procey, it is the only majority white motherboard for am4 with an IO cover.

 

If i could do anything different it would be a bigger case and the white version of my current GPU, everything is kinda cramped and eventually I want to do custom hardline loop, not possible in this case.

 

Constructive criticism is welcome but only if you're actually telling me how amazing I did, all other comments with be met with me crying.

looks nice and clean! the cables are a nice touch

Awful lot of blue light in that black and white build   J/K -- the white does nice things with the lighting.  Have you tried other lighting colors?  I think you landed on a great option, but I'd be interested to see how the components reflect other colors.  

Out of curiosity, why'd you route the USB3 cable through the vertical port as opposed to the hole you ran the GPU power supply through?

I ran the usb 3 like that because it was not long enough to come through the bottom, my camera is picking up more blue than there actually is and yeah i've tried other colors, but the same thing will have, my camera will screw them up.
