Aesthetic wise I'm looking for a White theme build.

For parts wise i need help to choose the basic and chio parts around.

Remember this. All white may seems a little too much and overwhelming. Now the trend is towards rgb. If you are open to go for white with a little rgb, it should reflect nicer than just all white.

Back in the 2012, most builds were all single color or dual color theme. Black red, black white, black blue. Which can be pretty dull.

But of cause, not all will prefer to do rgb. An all white build can only mean 2 things. Either plain boring. Or a little fun with rgb so that white can reflect the spectrum of colors to look completely blending.

An all white build can be boring also because it makes it look like you just put a fluorescent white light to brighten what is inside a case.

Thanks!

I'm considering Hue+ and those hue+ fans.
Also maybe change the ram to G.skill Trident Z rgb
