[Help] Aesthetic CPU build

[singupingu]

Nice rig! That GPU is a GALAX Snpr White 1070 right? Iirc, there was one sold on Carousell a couple days ago, was that you who bought?

It's an Asus Dual. SNPR White got led light strip on its backplate.

Thanks for the correction! In terms of aesthetic, performance and cost, which one would you recommend?

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.

I think this video will tell you otherwise.

Dominant white colour is the best reflection for RGB

This. This came into my mind when I saw the thread post. Very pricey components in there though. Also regarding the cable sleeves, would it be much of a difference with a handmade custom one or factory made by large scale companies?

Definitely better quality, custom made are softer, more flexible and unlike factory made, custom made cables can be directly plug into the PSU of your choice.

Factor made cables mostly are just cable extension (which add more unnecessary resistance)

Performance are all the same. The only question is aesthetic and cost. Balance of both, would be 2nd hand Asus Strix like the one I'm using. SNPR is nice but no local warranty is a bummer. For first hand, look up for Zotac Amp Extreme and Gigabyte Aorus Extreme, but both are 3 slot card and heavy. That's why in the end I had opt for Asus Strix.
