White themed components

marcus2704 · 14 Jun 2015 at 20:22

My PC is as follows -

Geforce Titan Z
I7 4690K
NZXT H440
EVGA SuperNova G2 850W PSU
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600Mhz RAM
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler
MSI H81M-P33 LGA1150 M-ATX Motherboard

I would like to change the old MSI motherboard, the cooler (as its going to be used elsewhere) and RAM. I am looking to keep my components white where possible and am after thoughts on the below:

I looked at the SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK S but its too expensive, so I am instead looking at the MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX Motherboard.

For the RAM I am thinking of the HyperX FURY Series 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3 1866MHz White kit.

I also need a new cooler, again white if possible, any recommendations appreciated up to £100.

Thanks got the recommendations

They are a little monstrous, not to say I won't get one but is there anything a little sleeker?

An AIO - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-012-AN&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2359

And make the illuminated logo glow white on it (RGB led you see).

If i may make a suggestion, ram speed has been shown to make a difference on haswell 2400mhz being the best.

maybe some of this instead?

I like that a lot, however I recenly bought the Corsair H110i which I could not fit to my H440 case because of the way the metal was moulded on the case at the top, it was basically a bit too long. This cooler isnt as long though, hopefully fingers crossed it will fit this time.

Loving the special offer price on that RAM and higher speed too, thanks!

The H110i is a 280mm vs 240mm for that Antec, so the dimensions should be shorter.

Asus X99 Pro has a white theme, no use to you as you do not wish to change up the CPU and socket. Not sure of a decent cooler that is white for £100 ~
