Hey everyone! I'm in the final stages of building my PC and need your input on CPU coolers. My motherboard, GPU, and RAM are all black, while my case (H7 Flow) and fans are white. I'm wondering whether I should go for a black or white CPU cooler. I'm considering the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO, which is black, but if I decide on a white cooler, I'd love suggestions for one that offers similar performance and price. What do you all think? Thanks!

You might want to check out the White Peerless Assassin. It comes in a non-RGB version too, so there are options depending on what you like!
The Peerless Assassin comes in white, but it's around $10 more than the Phantom Spirit. You might also look at the ID-Cooling A410 in white; it's in the same price range and close to the cost of a 240mm AIO. Just keep in mind the price jump!
I got a 7600x3D, so I didn’t think an AIO was necessary since it's also my first build. A bit nervous about setting up an AIO myself!
Thanks for the tips, everyone!
I've heard the Phantom Spirit performs a bit better though. Is the difference noticeable? Also, what do you think about the Thermalright Royal Pretor 130?
