Looking for a white build (with plenty of LED/RGB components to highlight white) Budget is about $1200 (excluding storage)

[Apollo68]

Looking for an awesome looking white build for around $1200 excluding storage. This PC will be mainly used for gaming - perhaps some video editing or streaming down the line but def not the priority.

Leaning toward an i5 8600K but am open to suggestions including AMD
Leaning toward a 1070ti (been looking at the galax white gpu) but am open to suggestions including AMD
The Fractal Design Meshify white case looks pleasing at the moment but open to suggestions
Looking for some guidance on RGB RAM (and when the prices will lower lol)

Everything else I have some idea but am looking for some cool options! Thanks for all the help in advance!

Would you think an AMD build (cpu and/or gpu) would work better? I'm thinking of getting a FreeSync monitor. Also I've heard some bad things regarding the ZOTAC 1080 cooling system so I'm wondering your opinions on that. Thanks!

AMD build

The format you are clicking on the pcpartpicker is wrong and makes it very complicated to read. Click the bb format and copy paste it here.

@OP:

Here is an AMD alternative. Zotac 1080 is just fine, I have a customer with that GPU running and it is just fine.

Keep an NVIDIA GPU, but you can consider switching to an AMD CPU:

The color choice slightly goes to hell but it is RGB iirc so you should be able to choose the color.
The CPU Cooler with the 2700 is good enough for the chip and is a marked upgrade over the previous iterations of AMD Coolers.

@Architsahu, It's wrong because you have trouble reading? Guess you are stuck in bad boss mode but I don't work for you and couldn't care less.

Woah, touchy there a bit bmockeg.

If it came off direct, sorry. But, it is slightly complicated to read. It was advice I meant to pass on; if you want to stick to your old method, by all means, go ahead.

EDIT: When I said it was wrong, I meant the format you chose was not the right one for this webpage. What you are clicking is the html code. What you need is the /bb code.
