Why does the color matter so much? It's a PC, you use it to do awesome things. If you pick a color over performance, you are a console peasant at heart
Some people want their PC to be a certain theme or color. I wont do white anything as I feel that's the old PC style and it reminds me of the white that went beige.
I get it though, if you spend $500+ on a GPU you want it to appeal in looks to you.
I recently did something I normally don't. I bought a $300 dollar motherboard, the Maximus VI Formula. One was the superior components but second was that I don't like the new gold theme Asus has (preferred the old blue) but am ok with red.
Plus I felt like spoiling myself for once with a high end mobo.
So I plan to replaced my HD7970 Vapor-X with a R9 290/290X from Asus to match my new red/black theme. It will look nice to me which is what matters the most.
