Anyone know of any *affordable* white PCB RAM?

For a while now I've been at looking at what I'm going to do regarding PC upgrades and I've finally decided on a 4790k with an MSI Z97 Krait, along with that I was going to buy some new RAM to match it. I was going to just get two 2x8 black PCB kits from G.Skill but then I noticed that the motherboard has two white DIMM slots and two black DIMM slots.

 

So I wanted to get one kit that had a white PCB but haven't had too much luck finding anything except for some crazy expensive 3Ghz RAM from Galaxy and just a bunch of white ASUS motherboards that Google is throwing at me.

4790k @ 4.5Ghz 1.180v NZXT Kraken X31 | MSI Z97 Krait | Kingston Hyper X Fury 32GB 1866Mhz, 2 DIMMs white and 2 black | GTX 980 Ti - G1 Gaming | GTX 680 - Reference | SilverStone ST75F-P | Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Yes I understand that I could get RAM with white heatspreaders but I personally don't like the look of them and prefer the look of bare RAM. Just look at the Galaxy RAM I mentioned in the OP, I would love it if I could get some like that without having to spend more than $190

the heat pips help with heat.. ram produces a lot of heat when under load and why not go for something that will make them run cooler and last longer?

Well it would be convenient, jokes aside though RAM doesn't really need a heatspreader anyway, especially when you have decent cooling and are not OCing it.

 

Edit: Also I very much prefer the look of bare RAM.
