Pretty simple question, do you think that painting the RAM Heat Spreader &/or the armor on the motherboard such as the ROG series from ASUS to color match your build?

I'm guessing some people are gonna say to just find the parts that'll match but I haven't found any decent components that are Green.

Corsair does green low profile ram

IMO, its not worth the hassle. It will probably look worse once its painted.

What build do you have in mind?

Well, I'm still saving up for it & I'm still exchanging out parts here & there so it's not a set list, but it's more or less this.

I know that the keyboard can be better but I'm still looking around for the right keyboard for me.

That, & people will give me shit for using such a big case but I personally like it but like everything else on the list, it's subject to change.

I don't understand why you would want to paint that.

The red & black goes well. Why paint it green?

I just want a Green build, honestly.

So many Red & Blue builds already & I thought I'd go with something different.

I will admit that it does match well, I just wanted something different.

If you want a green theme, the gigabyte sniper series motherboard is a good choice. Pair that with a reference 700/900 series GPU and your golden (or green)

Orange is also different. Gigabyte SOC force is an amazing motherboard for the price. It will go nice with the h440 black and orange edition

Theming a build can cost a fair bit more than not, trust me i know from my current one. But I think it is worth it if the PC in question, like mine is an investment. I think of my PC as a investment due to the cost of it. So i spend money on it where i know if i needed to i could easily get it back.

So it's if you think your PC is worth the extra for a theme. Do it, you can't do anything better. Apart from building your own.

Orange will be better than Green.

That's why i went for Yellow, not seen many Yellow builds before.
