looking to build a comp these are the specs note the gpus arent sert as the 1080tis might be coming (will proberly build everything but it and use a spare 770 i got here till i decide on gpu

 

16gb ram unsure of which brand due to colour theme

gigabyte z170mx micro atx motherbaord - only mATX mobo i can get that is sli capable and is the centre of my question of the colour theme

6700k

h100i cpu cooler

either 2x 1080 seahwak x from msi/ corsair or 1080tis if they come out 

960 gb san disk ultra ssd (already have from previous comp (sold it without the ssd)

fractal node 804 micro atx case (only case i found in this form factor to fit 2x120mm and 1x 240/280 mm

corsairRM850i (unsure if this will be the psu advice wouldnt be minded)

cable mod widebeam magnetic 60cm (colour depending on theme)

cable mod rmi series cable replacement (colour depending on theme )
 

due to the   motherboards theme im unsure what i should go with

 

was thinking white/red cables with  red led  or even white led ?

or should i go red black cables with red led ?

 

for ram should i go white and black like these  http://www.msy.com.au/sa/adelaide/pc-components/15916--kingston-hyperx-fury-hx421c14fbk2-16-16gb-kit-8gx2-ddr4-2133-desktop-ram.html

or led versions like these 

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/36009/corsair-vengeance-led-cmu16gx4m2a2666c16r-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4/ or the black with white led version

any other ideas ? wanna make it look good considering its gonna cost 3000+ aud to build 

 

attached picture of the mobo for people too see  thanks in advance :)

 

really wish the mobo was just red and black or red and white shame none of the other motherboards will do some look really cool :)

I would go for Black with red accents so like black cables but red LEDs. The corsair vengeance LED would go great with the build colour theme.

I suck a typing, preparw for typos.

Red is what every 12 year old does with their PC. It is so overused it is just disgusting. Makes me hate red.

I would go all black and red theme, with red cables and red led's, and same goes for the memory sticks, black with red. White may completely break the theme. 

I myself are working on an LTT themed build, so i will have all black and orange.

So just because you hate red, noone else is entiteled to have that color scheme in their build? And also, are not suppose to like it? Wow.. the world is strange at times.

I'm not sure. It's used a lot cause it looks good lol and IMO it doesn't matter how many people use it, if its the color you want, then get it. I finally decided to use black and red even though a lot of people do, just because I love the colors. Just please do not put colored LED strips in it, it makes it top where your other components can be any color because you can't really see the components. I just have a little bit of light in mine from my red led fans, which isn't strong enough to make the other parts not stand out.

You can always paint parts of it, or use case lighting to cover it up.

Also it's possible to have a black and white colour scheme with small red accents, it doesn't look bad.
