    Hello... Given that you want kind of a "Future Proof" PC and once that doesn't have RGB I have just what you are looking for. I highly recommend this PC build for you. I made sure that no RGB is included except what might be on the Motherboard as you really don't have an option for that anymore but everything else is non RGB and as Silent as I could possible get it. I added 2 more fans to go on the top of the Fractal Design case for max airflow. I also got a a ATX 3.0 PSU so that if you ever upgrade the GPU in the future you won't need to replace the PSU. I put in 2 M.2 drives, a 512GB w/ 1GB Cache for your OS and to load software much quicker and a 2TB M.2 w/ 2GB Cache to load your games much faster and 2TB should be plenty for a decent game library.
     
    I have been building PCs for 30 years, If you have any questions please let me know.

    If I have to bait people into watching it, but they enjoy the video and learn something then I don't feel bad.
     
    From my point of view, it's like putting a fun cartoon character on a pack of spinach to get kids excited to eat it. 
     
    It works and now we all know about the importance of modular laptops so we can put pressure on mainstream manufacturers to respond to this threat to their crappy, unsustainable business models. 
     
    Sorry, not sorry.

    Metaformed reacted to katoptrys in Do I need an Amp/DAC?   
    Hm. I would not personally trust a motherboard to be able to push anything north of 100-ish ohm, let lone 250 or even 600. As much as they may advertise, there is a LOT of noise inside your computer and I'd go as far as to say I can hear a difference with my 50 ohm HD598. You will NOT get a clear sound signal.
    You might struggle to drive them. I'd say a DAC is not necessary unless you want a boost to sound quality, but I'd find a decent AMP for those cans. If you want something lasting and good quality, I'd go with a Schiit Magni, it's about 100 bucks and generally great unless you're working with EXTREMELY high res stuff like professional audio. You can always also upgrade your set down the road with a Modi, which is their DAC, for another 100. Magni + Modi is a pretty decent kit. If you need something a bit more budget they have a combo called Fulla for 100 bucks but I haven't tried it personally, or you could go with a Fiio combo like the E10K, they are also a very decent brand.

    I agree, the Mod Mic 4.0 has great sound quality, can be attached to just about any pair of headphones, or rally any other surface, I saw someone who didn't have headphones and only the mod mic, he put it on the top of his monitor and facit it towards him and it worked well.
