Watercooling Case and tubing/fitting advice

[Poozle]

I am looking into a water cooling upgrade and was wondering if any of you had any advice for my problems...
So my first problem is that the current water cooling build I have is a soft tube (a sort of training wheels for me) and that now, I am finally ready to move on to the hardline tubing.

Currently I have a NZXT H440 case. It is white. It doesn't quite match my back motherboard or my blue RAM. It just feels out of place. I know it is a great case. Quite simply though, I cant help but feel as if the Panteks Enthoo Tempered Glass case would make my build Really POP out. I have a black and blue build. My part colors are as follows
Black motherboard
Blue RAM (8 dimms)
Clear tubing, clear GPU block, and clear CPU block, clear res
Blue fluid
Black SSD
Black and Blue fittings
Blue Backplate for GPU

The color white, just does not seem to fit in.
Would the Phanteks Tempered glass make my cooling and case pop? I do have the NZXT RGB Strips. Would these fit?

The next thing is my fittings and tubing choice. I chose Bitspower 12mm OD silver shining fittings

I also have Bitspower 500mm tubing to go with it.

My question for this is Does hardline tubing look better with Bends, OR using 90 Degree Fittings? I realize this is a opinionated question, but I still want your opinion. Doing bends without 90 degree fittings. I feel as if they would give it a more premium feel.

(these are for looks check them out here...http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22680/ex-tub-2600/Bitspower_Enhanced_Dual_90-Degree_Multi-Link_Adapter_-_12mm_OD_Rigid_Tube_-_Silver_BP-E90DML.html?id=vLhgqnqp&mv_pc=521)

would save me enough to get the Phanteks case.

Is it worth it? Tell me please. This is a treat to myself and PURELY for aesthetics and a competition at our school.

Finally, I am doing RAM cooling. I will explain why as many people do not RAM watercool and I am not sure why. If any of you have a idea as to why people do not, please tell me. I want my system to LOOK special AND be as color neutral as possible. I can think of no other way of doing that except buying another stack of RAM which is even pricey-er.

My current Idea is this for my loop. https://www.dropbox.com/s/let87f7uga1h4wk/81Sjs8ScdZL._SL1500_.jpg?dl=0
But I am unsure of a few things.
The first thing is tubing length. I may need a couple connectors or extenders anyway....
This is assuming I do not swap my H440 out for a Phanteks TG.

Hardline tubing bends do look more clear, also less fittings less chance for a leak.
Here you can see using 90degree fittings how it would probably look like:

And with bends it looks way nicer:

As for ram cooling, ppl avoid it because-
a) it is pointless, usually even passive cooled ram is fine, positive airflow is more than enough
b) it is expensive
c) pressure drops can be big
d) some ram warranties can be void if/when you add water block (specially if you remove heatsinks)

And about your idea of tubing, i would like to ask how do you plan to fill that loop ?
Since reservoir is far away from pump, as you know usually ppl say pump to be close(connected) to reservoir so it can have water all the time.
I really wonder how you plan to fill it
I think something like in the second pic is better way of tubing and/or this:

Thank you for the help. I actually have an Inline fill and drain port + a splitter at top of res.
