What Colour scheme ?

[Bingbing10]

So I am thinking of going for an all black colour scheme but what do you think ?

Going with these components

-Fractal design R4 pearl black with side window

-amd fx 8350

- Gigabyte 990fxa UD3

-GPU - either ASUS matrix 7970 , XFX R9 280x , asus dcu2 R9 280x ( say which one would really help)

-corsair vengeance black 1600mhz ram ( with pointy heat spreader)

-corsair h60 or cooler master seidon 120 ( mainly for aesthetics as hate massive air coolers)

-thinking of adding in some sort of white lighting but don't know what ??

Do you think there will be an absence of colour ? Plus my room is black furniture with white walls

Well this is my first build so I am looking from guidance from you guys as you know what looks good

[Sarcasm]

Get something with a solid side panel. No fucks given about colour scheme. Red and black GPU, white interior, brown motherboard and blue RAM.

To the build being showcased in this post 

Too much gray.....no offence the build is brilliant but too much gray kinda dull

 

Maybe you could add a lighting effect of your name on your previous build

 

Small hints of the nvidia green more neon/luminescent

Bingbing can you take a couple gd shots of your components? also don't follow others make up something creative tho it could be a single consistent colour

This is going to be my first build plus the components I am thinking of buying are listed above plus thinking of going for some white or red lighting ? Thinking or white as everyone has red

I'm doing a grey and black colour scheme. Very similar (Almost too similar) To the build listed above.

Are you going to be adding any lighting to the build ? I was thinking of white lighting ?

[wng_kingsley7]

Purple Lighting.......Its totally obscure but works in conjunction with dark colours?
But if you gonna be traditional probably use red lighting with under the motherboard tray white possibly

White lighting adds the best to the build. It doesn't mask any of the colours, It just adds too them. But then again no leds are beautiful and subtle.

Do you know any cheap but good led that will go in a fractal design r4

you could get a NZXT hue, It costs like 30$ and it can do any colour in the rainbow.

 

Or if you just want one colour then get some bitfenix led strips.

The hue looks really good it's just quite expensive

[Kiwiandapple]

I would go with the color off the graphics card with led fans, then put black/grey cables in it and maybe matching color'd ram. Put in a white led bitfenix strip and you are done. The NZXT hue led light, isn't as great. I have one in my case, and it's not that awesome. The white led bitfenix strip will put those colors abit more on fire. 

 

asus cards, go red fans - ram.

sapphire toxic card, go orange fans - ram.

[WoodenMarker]

Make sure to replace the fans on the AIO's with Rosewill Hyperboreas or something. The stock fans are quite loud.

I'd say get the xfx 280x--it looks super sleek. 

You could probably bump down to a 8320. It doesn't look like you're shooting for 5 ghz or anything like that with the coolers you mentioned.
