Same here, Case has red lights / red LED fans, Keyboard Logitech G110 back lit red. getting some red vengeance RAM. New GPU i think is black or gray.

New Motherboard will be the odd one, its brown, or gold i think (Sabertooth) that will look strange....

It's too bad nobody makes motherboards like that awesome white and red motherboard Sapphire made back in the day.

eww..... no sorry that's a bit garish, i think the white board would work better if the print on it was black and the plastic components more red, less pink. :)

Your running a 5770 at 990 clock? nice, i could not get mine over 940 without boiling it, was a good solid GPU that tho...

PS: i ram my memory at 1340 :p
 
Someone made a oneoff or a brief series on.... lga1156? I think it was 1156, might have been 1366.
Pretty garish.

Yeah, it is kind of pink but that's because it's UV red. I once sleeved a PSU with UV red sleeving and it ended up looking like a pepto bismol water loop. That board looks a lot better under more natural light. There's a review on TechPowerUp with tons of pictures under more natural lighting.

If I had a better cooler I'm sure I could take this 5770 to 1050 or more. It's a ATI branded card pulled from a Dell with the stock bat mobile cooler on it. Right now with a steep fan curve in Afterburner it hovers around 70° under gaming with the fan at around 90-95%. Under OCCT it gets up to 75 or 76° with the fan at 100%. Any hotter than that and it throws errors in OCCT no matter what clocks I have set so it's hard to do any real stability tests when it's going to throw errors from hitting the thermal limit. I think the voltage limit on these things is 1.35 so I still have a ways to go if I had a better cooler to keep the heat under control. I had the memory running at 1400 but I started having problems with the screen flickering every now and then and dropping the memory clocks a little fixed that.
