Well, Black/Red is severely overused imo, even tho it looks pretty good. I personally find Black/White boring. So I would go with Black/Blue, but a dark or strong blue colour. 
To throw another one into the mix, White/Blue is quite nice.

Is black, blue, and white okay? I like black and red too, and it's easy to find stuff for, but it really is overrated as hell. Then again, it looks good, so I'm torn.

I was thinking maybe Black/Blue case, with Black/White accessories. How does that sound?

Well is there a window on the case? Are you painting the case or anything else? Sleeved cables? Watercooling?

Not sure how easy it is to find white interior these days, but if custom sleeved cables you could do tricolour there, with say black-blue-white-white-blue-black on a 6pin, but still probably easier with 2 colors. My choice would be Black/Blue, to prevent it from being to complicated.

Yep, I'm looking at the Black/Blue NZXT S340 Elite. That's what I plan on going off of.

Yeah go Black/Blue, got the potential to turn out really amazing.

Don't have any expectations, this is  a my first ever build. Also, I have a few questions. 

  1. What should I do about headphones? Would any combination of black/gray/white look fine?
  2. Should I buy sleeved cables?
  3. Is RGB lights worth it (case, monitor, and desk)?
  4. Can you dye Corsair H100i water colors?

1. That's entirely up to you, I personally go by quality over colour when it comes to headphones. But Black/Gray would probably be more in tune with a Black/Blue build. Luckily there is a lot of black or grayish headphones out there.

2. Again entirely up to you, but it will compliment the build more, with custom looking the best.

3. Everybody is diferent in this regard, some like it, some don't. 

4. Why would you dye something you can't see?

Yeah I know, but I'm more saying if it comes down to me picking colors. Is Cablemod good for cables? And yeah, I like RGB lights.
