I'm just going purely black and white on this. These were the automatic colours, I'm not a fan of flashy rgb just sticking with white lighting all around. 

Nice. I was gonna say to try purple, as I think that'd look good with white. At least you aren't doing green or red (They're overused IMO, but hard to get away from as most affordable "gamin" stuff has to be red and black or green and black)!

Finished my first ever build. I will change all the lighting this is first time boot opening cam software wanted to get a pic! Need to sort out leds also.

nicely done, not that much of a fan of the looks but its always nice to finish a build, would like to see more pictures or else its more of a status update thing tbh

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

AAAAAAH! GTX 1080 Ti FTW3*! Stop, you're gonna kill me with jealousy! Also, I'm a bit of a Corsair fanboy, but you guys are gonna make me rethink this with all the sweet NZXT fans and AIOs. Sweet build though mate. What RGB colors are you planning on going with? 

 

 

*Yes, also an EVGA fanboy. And Sapphire for AMD cards.

Well what else do you expect people to use?

S340 Elite or P400 TG are the best cases, and there aren't any mainstream competitors for such a low price point.

HUE+ is by far the best RGB strips

NZXT X42/52/62 is the best looking AIO in most people's opinion.

 

NZXT gets money and sales for making components that look nice and aren't overly expensive.

Glass sidepanels look good, and usually people like JayzTwoCents recommend quality products.

 

I'm not advocating the same cookie-cutter systems everywhere, but using mainstream parts makes sense for most people, and cable management is something everyone should do. taking pride in your system and wanting to show it off is normal. you want it to look good.
