Hello Guys,

I am planning to assemble a new case and would like to know your views to get a view of the trend around.

First of all,

WHAT COLOUR COMBINATION IS WOULD LOOOK THE BEST?

I mean like....

Red and white,

white and orange,

red and orange... anything you find cool...

also can you suggest any case matching the color scheme.

Thanks!

I like white and blue the best out of any color combos. White and black also.

Black and yellow could be awesome as well.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Blue and everything that goes with it. Blue and white

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5891#ov

Does it support the new GTX 10xx Series? I've heard of some mobos (namely the Krait) that don't support them.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

There is no reason why they wouldn't.

aha! still i think white and green could do great!

Just shove it in your jungle-themed room and it won't look out of place.

I went for a white+black "stormtrooper" look. I think it's very classy and not too loud and garish while still clearly being a beastly gaming PC. Every friend that's seen said they love the case which is a first for me haha.

 

Got this case - Corsair 500r(the lights look more blueish in photos. IRL it's a very bright white with maybe a tinge of blue.)600x594px-LL-1f77b68e_pic1.jpeg

 

It would look great with a white mobo like this MSI Z170
