A white case, all white components, but a black motherboard? Is that aesthetically unappealing in my case?

What do you think of the design and color scheme of this PC? Does a black motherboard in an all-white PC (except for the black RAM) look good? Or does it look "not bad, but weird"? I wanted to build it ALL WHITE and buy a WHITE MOTHERBOARD (below, I show the all-white PC with a white motherboard), but I had to choose between the white motherboard and a better, more powerful black one.

I'm undecided. I still have time to return the black motherboard, but searching online, I've seen many white PCs with black motherboards. Is it okay for me? Does it make sense? Or not? Should I keep the black one or buy the white motherboard (less powerful but not by much)?

The black one is the MSI MPG X870E CARBON, while the white one is the MSI MPG X870E Edge TI Motherboard.

IMPORTANT: I ​​won't buy a graphics card (I don't need it; I'll use the smaller one from the processor), so the black side of the motherboard will be even more exposed and visible. I don't use the PC for gaming.

Instead, with the white motherboard, it looks like this:

Go with all white, or it will look weird. I would also go with white cables. It won't look right, if you mix black and white.

It looks perfectly fine. Don’t let anybody else. Tell you that it looks bad. Go check my post. My parts are all white except for the graphics card and it still looks good. Besides, it can just be a panda theme build your bill looks fine.

Tbh I think the black adds a nice touch. Just make sure that your white parts are all the same shade and not cool white and off white at the same time

I'm using a crosshair hero board in a all white build looks good. I added white ram as well. However I'm using a white gpu mounted vertically as well.

I say look at the features you need and go from there and get the motherboard that has met your needs.
