White or Black case?

Hey guys. 

I currently have this motherboard:

http://www.gigabyte.pl/products/page/mb/ga-z68ap-d3rev_10/

and i am getting r9 280 from Sapphire (it has a blue pcb).

I am getting a new case with it and i was wondering what would look better, white or black.

White: http://www.morele.net/obudowa-zalman-z3-plus-usb3-0-biala-z3-plus-white-609357/

Black: http://www.morele.net/obudowa-zalman-z3-plus-czarna-matx-atx-okno-usb-3-0-605201/

I know that blue pcb looks ugly but i am not changing my motherboard right now and i am trying to do the best i can to make it look kinda nice.

Thanks

Edit: also thinking about lighting strip (only white one on the site that i am getting these things).

I personally prefer black cases in pretty much all situations. Something like this is a subjective matter, though.

Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.7 GHz CPU Cooler: Corsair H110 w. 2x Noctua NF-A14 Industrial in pull Mobo: ASUS Maximus VII Hero RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 MHz GPU: ASUS GTX780 DCUII SSD: 250GB Samsung 840 Evo HDD: WD Green 3TB PSU: Corsair AX860i

I kind of like the white case since there's contrast or whatever the term is supposed to be. The all black case is kind of "flat"... I feel like an art judge...

Yea I kind of prefer white one because it's not that boring but i wanted to know if it is going to look decent with blue MOBO and GPU.

I'd go for a black case. It's completely subjective, but I'm yet to find a white case that I actually like.
