depends on the theme you're going i guess, the sabertooth is grey-ish, doesnt really fit with lots of build

 

its either black/white, black/red or white/blue most of the times

grey is sort of a dirty colour that goes with all but doesnt really look good imo

My color theme is Green I'll custom paint my Gskills ram to green and I'll also get some green sleeved psu cables, my chassis will have a Corsair SP LED Green Fan and NZXT X61 cooler and of course an NZXT H440 Razer, so it can match my razer peripherals.
