It will be a long process as the white Enthoo Primo won't be released until the end of February/ Early April, although i will be purchasing some parts this week!

Pictures to follow of course! ;)

*EDIT*
I've changed the size of the fittings and tubing to 16/10mm as i will need the smaller diameter to help me route the tubing! My goal is to have as little tubing on display as possible, hopefully this will give me the clean look i'm hoping for!

I decided to do away with the pre braided cables from corsair and do the job myself! I ofcourse am using that "famous" brand of sleeving! I have uploaded some shots of my work so far further in this thread! Anyway all the parts have been purchased, i'm now waiting patiently for Phanteks to release the case and for OcUK to send it to me!!

Subbed for sure, loving your parts list! If I'd know there would have been a white version I might have waited longer (well probably not). Have you considered another colour to contrast against the white? Like your sleeving or lighting? Look forward to seeing your progress.

Enjoy the build once you get started
 
I was going to use White sleeved cables, the Corsair ones that are in my OP. Not sure if that will be too much white?

I was going to use black tubing just as a contrast to the white.
 
I think white sleeve is too much white, you could use virtually any colour to contrast off it. But it's personal preference at the end of the day. Me if I was doing white case I'd go purple! Don't know why it's just I've seen some really vivid coloured sleeve that would be awesome in a white case.

Thinking about it, I kind of agree! I don't think I will go quite as vivid as purple, maybe go black cables?

As I've found during my build a little is more (if you follow). I think adding some colour will draw the eye to different features of your project. The motherboard you have chosen was the one I originally intended to use in my build, but I gave up waiting. It's black and red so there are two choices that are the obvious ones. There some awesome sleevers on this forum who would do you custom cables at a very reasonable cost which would give you more choice if say you wanted to use more than one colour in the cabling.
It's options you could consider anyway when you are spending so much money you want it to look spot on also to make all us subbers jealous ;)

The thing about the enthoo case is you can hide the cables well and only short runs can been seen if done well, so white would still work nicely and having the set pre-made will save you time. It will still look fab, trust me I changed my mind a lot when it came to deciding the colour combinations.

It's just me thinking out loud anyway mate, I'm sure others have different opinions. Go with your gut feeling it's what you like that matters.
 
You can never have too much white! :D

I loved doing my white build, everything just looks so clean and the contrast with black/red components is superb! Can't wait until you start! ;)
 
I'm considering a custom loop myself but I've never done one before and until I get my second GPU and can test temps I'm not sure if I will. I'm comfortable with air cooling for now though. MY CPU and GPU don't run too hot and the GPU boost can push to 1319Mhz and be pretty stable which is impressive for a 770 without much of an overclock. Although I think your white fittings and some purple tubing could look pretty nice.
