EVGA graphics cards look the part, but Corsair make the best looking cases and coolers. I also think my ASUS monitor is damn beautiful.

PC: EVGA GTX680, i5 2500K, 8GB Kingston HyperX, Gigabyte Z68-GA-UD3P, 120GB OCZ SSD, 2x1TB WD Greens, Corsair 600t, Corsair AX750, Corsair H100i, ASUS MX239H, Corsair K60 + M60.

Hands down, gainward's phantom cooler on the 770. I just love how the fans are hidden and the fins are visible. Only thing better would be the same thing but a waterblock+rad in a 3-slot card.

My favorites are: MSI and Corsair when buying parts I mostly stick to their brand as I like them.

 

However for cases I like NZXT and my PSU for XFX those XFX pro series looks awesome. also sometimes I also prefer Kingston.

To pick an overall favourite based on looks, I'd have to say Asus. Their red and black components (ROG branded items) 

look amazing, but many people seem to think they're too aggressive looking, and I've even heard them called juvenile.

I'd argue the juvenile point by mentioning their Zonar Essence line. I own an STX, and to me it looks great and keeps it classy.

 

I also like the aesthetics of Corsair products... mainly their innovative coloured ring system on the Air Series fans.

Corsair and ASUS. For peripherals I prefer the cosmetics on Razer. They have such solid branding, it's easily recognizable. The other brands fluxuate constantly. Mind you I don't own anything from Razer.

I think that most of Asus's components go well with each other e.g. ROG motherboard with a Direct CU II graphics card, and they look pretty good, but I personally feel that it's overused now. I see so many well done red and black builds that it's hard to make one stand out amongst the rest as they all look pretty similar. 

 

I like a more clean look with very subtle bits of colour for some contrast.
