So i sold my PC and building a Ryzen based pc and boy i am so excited. So i am one of those guys that "get off:" to RGB hehehhe. I was looking at a few components so if anyone could suggest alternatives to these at the same or lower price point i would very much appreciate it. I like tinkering and tweaking and overclocking so there is that. I also like my PC to look real nice too..... I hope i am not asking for too much .So this is what i had in mind.

Case something that looks nice with good airflow, tempered glass and good storage options.
Phantex p400A digital RGB tempered glass case = Phanteks PH-EC400ATG_DBK01 Eclipse P400A Digital RGB Tempered Glass Satin Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Desktop Chassis - Wootware

Ram =2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz (something that can overclock to say 3600mhz) TeamGroup TF3D416G3200HC16CDC01 T-Force Delta RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200MHz CL16 1.35V Black Desktop Memory - Wootware (if anyone has used this kit, how does it overclock and perform?

PSU =something modular at around 700 watts with lots of sata cables etc...... (i do not have one in mind)
GPU = something like a 5700xt
Motherboard i already have this = ASRock B450 PRO4 AMD B450 Ryzen Socket AM4 ATX Desktop Motherboard - Wootware

any suggestions would be appreciated. Especially with case, ram and RGB.

the other stuff would be a r5 3600
a 512gb nvme ssd
and a nice 1440p 144hz freesync monitor
 
Best advice would be to stick to a single brand for RGB components as you would only need one control app to install and run.

I stuck with Corsair, slowly moving over the remainder of my build.

Agree on this 100% my fans play nice with my motherboard because it's plugged directly into it but my ram is Corsair Vengeance Pro which requires separate software which with a plug-in that works when it feels like working.[emoji2359]

Yep the more the merrier but get something that you only need one piece of software to run it all. Just makes things easier instead of Corsair ICUE for the fans then something else for the cooler etc etc. If you know what i mean.

On the RAM front



Here’s the motherboard tier list, try stick to the better ones (I don’t know your potential boards tier situation)
