Colour scheme of new rig

[POWERMETAL]

Hi everyone, so next year will be time for me to get an upgrade and have been almost 2 years since ive got this:

CPU:2500K @ 4.8GHZ
RAM:4GB CORSAIR DOMINATOR 2133MHZ 9-10-9-27
GPU: EVGA GTX 580 SC
MB: Gigabyte P67A-UD4 B3
Cooler: Cooler Master V6GT
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Black Edition

so im looking forward to get the new GTX 700 / HD 8000 GPUs and the new intel´s cpus (ivy-E may be?)
the thing is i currently have my rig with almost every bit in black with red lighting on the inside and the outside fans as well, bu im kinda deciding which colour scheme im gonna choose for the new rig, so ive ended up with 3 choices:

1. black with red lighting for the inside
-red led fans for the front and top
-cooler master HAF 932 black case
-corsair platinum rams
-corsair H100
-red led strip for the inside
-black mobo, cables (pretty much everything except rams and gpu)
-gtx 7xx with some cooler with silver heatpipes matching with the ram

2. black & white
-cooler master HAF 932 black case
-white led fans for the front and top of the case
-white cabling
-corsair SP or AF fans with the white rings
-corsair H100
-black mother board (with black slots, and heatsinks)
-corsair platinum rams
-gtx 7xx with some cooler with silver heatpipes matching with the ram (again)

3. black & red (without red lighting for the inside)
-red led fans for the front and top
-white lights for the inside of the case
-cooler master HAF 932 black case
-asus ROG motherboard (with black and red colour scheme)
-red corsair vengeance rams
-corsair H100
-red extention cables
-AMD HD 8XXX (because they r ussually red)

so yeah im kinda thinking ahead of what im gonna do next year, so as i like all the options im asking what do u people think? which one would look better?

I think you need to be more clear. Ive read that 3 times and got more confused each time.

I heared that there won't be a Ivy-Bridge-E & EP.

And every option will look awesome, if you're doing it right.

sorry for the crappy english lol, hope its better..

I think white lightning looks better on colored boards etc. so I would prefer option 2 or 3.

I would go for the black with red lighting myself. I currently run black with blue lights, but if red is your color go for it.

thats why i chose the white lights cuz that way you can see the contrast between colours

IMHO you need the same fans throughout the case, you cant mix and match it looks cheap / n000bish

i know, i just wanted to light up the top grill, but it means i have to mount 2 differernt set of fans on the H100 rad, being the pull fans red led ones, but yea i tought it would look weird tho, i guess i have to think that one better :lol:

yeah all you people with more than 1 type of fan are noobz -.- ?

depending, i think mounting 2 different sets of fans on 1 rad wont look right, at least thats what i think tom meant
