I have a Black NZXT Phantom 630 with Swiftech H220 (black), Blue Ram, Blue Cables and Blue accents on my motherboard. What LED's would suit it best?

Personally, I would probably choose white or blue. White will give your build a very clean look

White is always the best IMO. Doesn't drown out the colours inside your build, while still allowing you to see them.

go with white

If you can find a led strip with white and blue I think that will provided a enough hint of blue to say "hey I'm blue" while still being white.

White or a very subtle blue.

 

I've tried strong red with a black and red build, the LED's just drown out the aesthetics of the insides.

White looks amazing in any build.

Definitely white. And see what it looks like if you point the LEDs down, so that the case is lit indirectly.

I guess Blue? You could try coating a bunch of powerful LED's with a thin layer of black paint. I have tried it before and the result is amazing!

Red would work as the mix between the red and blue makes for a real nice effect, i just done it on my rig.
