Good thing you mentioned it. In-case anyone was interested, I already have my peripherals from my current build, and plan to just take my 500GB SSD and 1TB HDD and place them into my new build.
Great. Do post pictures once you're done with the setup.

Also, I so wish they would let us pick the accent on the graphic card. I can see that you're going with a black and white theme but you don't have much of a choice regarding the graphic card and are stuck with that red-ish accent.
I plan to post pictures! And yeah I know what you mean. As I'm sure you can see, my theme is white. White case, white MOBA. Tried to find white RAM sticks but I love the ones I currently have. The factory model of the 1080 is white, but its 120$ more and it's not overclocked to 1.721GHz. It's only 1.61GHz. I'm also getting aftermarket fans with white LED's, and some LED strips to go alongside the base of the case.
HyperX offers white colored sticks in their fury line-up, not sure if it's the same for the others. If you actually want a white card, you can check out the Galax HOF Edition, tho it's not on PCPartPicker as it seems. You can find it here, but it's currently out of stock and is priced at $699.

Only problem is that the RAM that comes in white is DDR3. DDR4 is now out.

Yeah, noticed that you're using 3200Mhz after posting that. Anyway, Corsair also seems to provide some white sticks in their Vengeance LPX Series. 2x8 GB, couldn't find any 4x4 white sticks.

My sticks are silver anyways. Will be hard to tell when you're not observing it intensely
