This is/has been my first attempt at a colour coordinated build(included PC, Table and peripherals). My goals are simplicity/clean looks. Its fare from done and will be an ongoing project for a long long time as funds are very tight. This thread will also function as my personal tracker. Feel free to post suggestions but please read the [My Future Plans] before you do incase its already on the list

Here is the current parts list:
MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition Motherboard
4770K @ 4,3ghz
Enermax Liqmax II 240 AIO
16gb 1866mhz Corsair Vengeance Ram
MSI 1070 Armor OC @ 2025mhz
NZXT 340 Source Black Case(stock fan rear exhaust, corsair AF140 with white ring top exhaust)
Samsung 850 EVO 500gb
Samsung 840 EVO 120gb
WD Blue 1000gb
Corsair AX860 PSU
Asus Xonar Essence STX
DELL S2716DG 2560x1440@ 144hz Gsync
Logitech G710+ Mech Keyboard
Razer Deathadder 2013 Edition
Razer Mako 2.1 Sound System

[My Future Plans]
1) Change ram to Kingston Fury HyperX 4 sticks, 2 white and 2 black.
2) Add another MSI 1070 Armor OC.
3) Find Backplates for the 1070 Armor in white.
4) Find a different soundcard or somehow put a backplate on the current one i own.
5) Custom sleeves PSU cables in black and white colour.
6) Mod the Enermax Fans and pump/heatsink to better fit the black and white colour theme
7) Change the rear Exhaust fan to something better and more colour appropriate.
8) Colour the Cable hidding bracket in the NZXT case white.
9) Mod the G710+ keyboard, remove orange and replace that and the shiny black with white.
10) Mod the razer mice to have small accent of white.
11) Paint the legs of my table black
12) Get black and white SATA Data cables.

A few pictures of the current setup. More will be added down the line with better upclose shots as well.

Monitor friend :)

Looking great already mate some subtle changes will really make this sweet

Ty :), there are plenty of small things to be done that wont cost a fortune. Like painting the PCIe covers on the rear of the case white. It will all add to the final look.
 
The build looks great, I remember my first colour coordinated PC and yours looks far superior :)

I was thinking for the sound card and backplates if you don't find any ready made ones you could have some metal or acrylic cut for them. That way you could have a custom design cut out or etched in to the plates to give the build a truly unique look. :)

Great build and I look forward to seeing it develop further :)
Good idea about that acrylic.

There's a good guy in Portugal who creates custom acrylic backplates. He did me proud on my build.

Do you have some contact info for this guy?
