Okay guys,  finally building my new computer after my last one died,  I have most of the parts planned, it is going to be a white and black themed build in the 350d, the motherboard is a asus x99 ws

1st question: what ram will look better for this theme,  dominator platnium or lpx white 

2nd question: just white candles or white a black ones? (from cable mods pack) 

What will make my build look better?

dominator platinum is expensive AF and has no benefits besides looks. Not worth IMO. As far as cables, I would go white and black, but thats just me

Do whatever floats your boat. I'D go for avexir ram and white cables with the outermost cables black. Between dominator and lpx white i'd go with the lpx

I would but that would require sleeving myself,  so I won't be going that route,  the ones I was talking about that I can buy is white black,  like zebra stripes

For some wierd reason i hate stripes, but probably the rest of the world likes stripes so i say go for it. I'd go full white but that's because i despise stripes for some obscure unknown reason

yeah i have a feeling they wont look to good, but i want stripes, just not every second cable, id prefer, 2 black, 3white, 2black or something
