Aesthetics Opinion?

[Origin Saint]

Hi all, as some of you may know, I'm hoping to build a desktop this year. This thread is just me wanting to know whether or not you guys think the aesthetics of my desktop will be good. I also had a question about my chosen RAM. I went with Low Profile RAM in case my CPU cooler had conflictions with the RAM, but I noticed the Low Profile RAM is more expensive, will I need the LP RAM with the Xigmatek Dark Knight II and the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H? Thanks for any and all help guys. I tried my best to stick to a blue/black color scheme. Let me know what you guys think this will look like. Here's the parts and links to newegg listings of them:

I use the LP stuff with my P8Z77-v Pro and Hyper 212 Evo, but I could easily stick in something substantially taller. Keep in mind that the Dark Knight II is about half a centimeter wider though, and I'm not totally sure how much space the Gigabyte boards have between the CPU and RAM clots, so it's best to get some exact measurements.

Regarding the aesthetics I think that it'll look fine, but it wouldn't hurt to find a few flashier parts and add a couple of extra LEDs in. I have NZXT sleeved LEDs around the perimeter of my case's window, and they look pretty damn cool if you ask me

Aesthetics shouldn't really matter that much at all. I mean, how often are you going to be looking at your PC?

I disagree with Jason here. If you are going to put several hundred dollars into a computer, it should at least look good.

As for your ram question, you shouldn't. Just buy ram that fits your needs performance wise and if they don't fit, then pull the heatsinks off. Might not look as good that way, but functionality won't be hurt a bit.

Otherwise, your scheme looks good to me.
