CUDA Cores: 10240 | VRAM: 16GB GDDR6X | Clock: 2565 MHz | Memory Speed: 23Gbps | Dimensions: 306.8 x 119.4 x 58.5 mm | Power Connector: 1x 12VHPWR | RGB: Yes

Pros

  • Cheaper than the RTX 4080
  • Perfect for high-FPS gaming
  • Beautiful white design

Cons

  • Very little performance gain over the RTX 4080

The NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER is one of the best 4K gaming GPUs you can buy right now, and that’s because it not only offers good performance but does so at an impressively good price tag. Equipped with a high-speed 16GB GDDR6X VRAM and 10240 CUDA Cores, the card rocks 4K gaming out of the park (our team got an average of 106FPS during 4K gaming tests). Of course, you can also expect beautiful ray tracing from it without much of a performance hiccup, either. This card is a true beast and the perfect choice for AAA gaming with high framerates.

Apart from its high-end performance, the card is one of the most beautiful GPUs I’ve ever tested. I used it in a vertical mount to really show off the curves – it is simply gorgeous. You also get sleek RGB lighting at the top that highlights the ZOTAC Gaming logo. These RGB effects, combined with the curvature of the massive 3-fan design, make the ZOTAC Gaming RTX 4080 Super Trinity OC White a perfect choice for a white build.

ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi

Best White AMD Motherboard

ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi - Best White AMD Motherboard
ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi

Chipset: B650 | VRM: 14+2+1 | USB Ports: 10x Rear, 9x Front | RAM Support: 4x DDR5-7200+ (192GB) | Storage: 3x M.2 Slots, 4x SATA 6Gb/s

Pros

  • Solid performance
  • Gorgeous white PCB
  • Great value

Cons

  • Expansion slots configuration could have been better

If you’re building an AMD rig (I recommend the 7800X3D), the right motherboard to go along with the white theme would be ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi. It has a 14+2+1 VRM design, which is more than enough for even the flagship AMD CPUs. Plus, you get a PCIe 5.0 slot for future proofing, and plenty of storage options (3x M.2, 4x SATA). The memory support is also just as impressive, as the board can handle up to 7200+MHz of DDR5 RAM with a max capacity of 192GB.

Looks-wise, I always recommend the Steel Legend series for white builds regardless of the platform. These motherboards completely stand out. That’s because ASRock has not just used white-themed heatsinks, but the entire PCB is white with gray accents. It looks really amazing. Plus, to take the flare factor to the next level, there is a long RGB strip below the bottom M.2 heatsink. In short, the ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi is the perfect motherboard to show off your white PC build.

GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Elite AX ICE

Best White Intel Motherboard

GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Elite AX ICE - Best White Intel Motherboard

Chipset: Z790 | VRM: 16+1+2 | USB Ports: 10x Rear, 7x Front | RAM Support: 4x DDR5-7600 (192GB) | Storage: 4x M.2 Slots, 6x SATA 6Gb/s

Pros

  • A very good VRM design
  • Plenty of USB ports
  • 4x M.2 ports

Cons

  • No Gen5 storage

Building an Intel rig instead? The Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Elite AX ICE has got you covered. The motherboard’s 16+1+2 VRM structure can even handle the 14900KS without breaking a sweat. These MOSFETs are cooled by a huge single-piece heatsink that does a great job at efficient heat dissipation. GIGABYTE has really crammed as many features into the AORUS ELITE AX ICE features as possible, and this is very evident by the board’s USB and storage configuration. You get 2x Type-C, 7x Type-A, and 8x USB 2.0 ports. Furthermore, there are 4x M.2 and 6x SATA storage options.

The GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Elite AX ICE offers everything you would expect from a top-notch white motherboard. It has a completely white PCB with massive heatsinks (covered in white+gray accents). To complete the look, the chipset cover has a sweet underglow which is like a cherry on top. All things considered, for the price, the GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE is really hard to beat, and that’s why I am recommending it as the best white motherboard for Intel builds.

CORSAIR Dominator Titanium DDR5-7200 CL34

Best White RAM

CORSAIR Dominator Titanium DDR5 - Best White RAM
CORSAIR Dominator Titanium DDR5

Memory: DDR5 | Capacity: 32GB (2x16GB) | Frequency: 7200 MHz | CAS Latency: CL34 | Input Voltage: 1.45V

Pros

  • Top performance
  • Beautiful design

Cons

  • Heatspreader is very tall

Last year, our hardware expert Nauman Siddique had the pleasure of testing the Corsair Dominator Titanium, and he loved how CORSAIR has managed to squeeze high-end performance into such a beautiful package. After all, the RAM clocks at 7200MHz with just a CL34 latency at 1.45V. Sure, it lacks overclocking potential, so you can’t really get it higher than 7200MHz, but let’s be honest; there is absolutely no need to cross that figure in the first place.

Despite that, the Dominator Titanium is truly one-of-a-kind and a blessing for white build lovers. It has a unique design with two RGB strips and an RGB top bar to give it a clean look, which is further complemented by the white heat spreader. Just look at these shots of the CORSAIR Dominator Titanium DDR5 from our testing and enjoy the beauty yourself:

CORSAIR 4000D Airflow

Best White PC Case

CORSAIR 4000D Airflow Best White PC Case
CORSAIR 4000D Airflow

Type: Mid-Tower ATX | Motherboard Support: Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, E-ATX | Dimensions: 453 x 230 x 466mm | GPU Clearance: 360mm | PSU Clearance: 220mm | CPU Cooler Clearance: 170mm | Drive Bays: 2x 3.5″ HDDs, 2x 2.5″ SSDs 

Pros

  • Remarkable cooling support
  • Great clearance for a mid-tower
  • Good storage configuration

Cons

  • Only 2x pre-installed fans

Given the focus on raw airflow and cooling performance, the CORSAIR 4000D Airflow has always been a favorite choice among PC builders. Apart from its front panel, which brings plenty of air thanks to its perforated design and large gaps on either side, the top panel also adds to the ventilation. The chassis can handle 2x radiators at a time (240mm at the top, 360mm at the front or 2x 280mm at the top and front). For storage, it can hold 2x 2.5″ SSDs and 2x 3.5″ HDDs.

CORSAIR has also provided a dedicated cable routing path along with several velcro straps so all the cables are kept tidy. This makes the final build look way cleaner than usual. All of these features, combined with the triangle perforations all over the chassis put together in a beautiful white finish make it a great option for white builds. It not only nails performance, but also offers good value given its pricing and overall design.

Best White AIO

CORSAIR iCUE Link H150i LCD

Type: 360mm AIO | Fans: 3x QX120 RGB Fans | Fan Speed: 480 – 2400RPM ±10% | Noise: 10 – 37 dBA | Dimensions: 397x120x27mm | Socket Compatibility: Intel: LGA 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155, & 1156 AMD: AM4, AM5 | RGB: Yes

Pros

  • Excellent performance
  • Beautiful block with LCD screen and RGB
  • iCUE Links minimizes cable clutter

Cons

  • Fans can get noisy at 100% speed

For cooling, my go-to AIO has to be the CORSAIR iCUE Link H150i LCD. It offers exceptional performance thanks to its 3x QX120 fans, which can spin at up to 2400RPM while offering a peak airflow of 63.1 CFM. Plus, given that it is a 360mm radiator with 20FPS density, the overall cooling is simply perfect for any flagship CPU. When our team tested it with the i7-13700K (power limits removed), the CPU maintained 82°C after a 30-minute Cinebench R23.2 run, which is very impressive considering we removed the power limits to really push the CPU to its absolute limits.

The iCUE Link H150i LCD also happens to be an unbelievably beautiful AIO. There is so much to love about it. First up, the pump has a 2.1″ IPS LCD screen that can display any graphic, text, or PC stat you want. There is also a huge amount of RGB lighting all around the block. On top of that, thanks to iCUE Link, all three fans can be daisy-chained and connected to a single hub to offer the cleanest look possible. All these features, topped off with the beautiful white radiator, fans, tubing, and pump, make the CORSAIR iCUE Link H150i LCD the best white AIO currently available.

Best White Fans

CORSAIR iCUE LINK QX120 RGB

Size: 120mm | Speed: 480 – 2400RPM ±10% | Noise: 10 – 37 dBA | Static Pressure: 0.17 – 3.8 mm-H2O | Airflow: 16.44 – 63.1 CFM | Bearing: Magnetic Dome | RGB: Yes | PWM: Yes 

Pros

  • Solid cooling
  • Beautiful white design
  • Supports iCUE Link

Cons

  • High noise at full speed

You’ll mount your AIO on the front panel of the CORSAIR 4000D Airflow, but for the top and rear panels, you still need 3x more 120mm fans. Well, I recommend the CORSAIR iCUE LINK QX120 RGB fans. These are the same fans you’ll get with your AIO as well. Plus, since these fans support iCUE Link, the installation and cable management are exponentially easier. All you need to do is connect these fans to the iCUE Link Hub, and that’ll take care of all the RGB controls and PWM management. 

As expected, these are white fans with plenty of RGB, so you’re covered in the looks department. Along with that, the fans can spin at up to 2400 RPM at a 3.8mmH₂O static pressure, all while giving a max airflow of 63.1 CFM. These are very good figures, and in our hands-on testing, the real-world performance turned out to be just as good as we expected. Overall, from installation to looks and performance, the CORSAIR iCUE LINK QX120 RGB are the perfect choice for a white PC build.

CORSAIR RM1000x Shift Fully Modular

Wattage: 1000W | Efficiency Rating: 80+ Gold | Modular: Yes (Fully) | ATX12V Version: 3.1 | ATX Connector: 1 | EPS Connector: 2 | SATA Connector: 16 | PCIe Connector: 7

Pros

  • Great performance and efficiency
  • Side-mounted connections
  • Future proof

Cons

  • A bit pricey

To power up this beast of a build, I suggest you go with the CORSAIR RM1000x Shift Fully Modular. We have been testing quite a lot of PSUs recently, but the RMx Shift series from CORSAIR has really impressed us with its voltage regulation, efficiency, and ripple performance. It has a max output of 1000W, so there is plenty of room to power up the build (You can also check our PSU Watts Calculator). 

The PSU uses high-quality Japanese internals and boasts a Cybenetics efficiency and noise rating of Gold and A, respectively. As for installation, it is a fully modular PSU with side-mounted connections; this means plugging the cables is significantly easier as compared to other PSUs, and full modular means you don’t have to plug in unnecessary cables. Lastly, all of these features and top performance are packed in a beautiful white design, completing the look of the perfect white PC build.

How I Picked The Best White PC Build

Given the popularity of white PC builds, almost all components now have a white variant. However, to put together the absolute best white PC build, we had to look beyond the white design. We wanted something that offers the best performance and most value while also looking drop-dead gorgeous. As such, I kept these factors in mind:

  1. Performance: As you can expect, my main priority was top performance. However, this doesn’t mean that I would just go ahead and recommend all the flagship components. Instead, I picked those that offer a balanced set of features along with great numbers.
  2. Compatibility: Alongside performance, I also factored in the compatibility of the components. For instance, if you’re going with an RTX 4080 SUPER, the CPU you’re going to pair it with is definitely going to need a 360mm AIO for optimal performance. As such, I made sure the components were compatible with each other to offer a smooth gaming experience without any stability issues.
  3. Aesthetics: Of course, it goes without saying that I only picked the white variants of the parts I suggested. But other than that, the color scheme also played a big part. For instance, the Steel Legend motherboard’s design philosophy is a major reason why I am recommending this motherboard – it simply looks so cool.
  4. Value For Money: While factoring all of these features and more, one that stayed vital is the overall value for money of the build. I didn’t want to recommend a rig just for the sake of it being white; I wanted to round up those components that are truly worth the buck. That’s why every part on my list offers a comprehensive set of features that make them stand out from their competition.

FAQs

Is it more expensive to build a white PC?

A bit yes, white PC parts are always a few bucks more than their black counterparts.
