Is there a white alternative for this case? I have white braided PSU cables that I could use and I think white just looks more impressive overall.

Do you think the RGB on the card is sufficient or would it fit with the system more if I chose something more RGBish?

dont think the card conatins any perticular RGB. 

 

there is a white variant of the case yes. 

 

and if you are goin with a white case. the Fryzen might be more interesting.

I guess I'll settle for 2x8.. and have 2 empty slots

For some RGB kits of RAM, the OEMs make dummy sticks as well. Basically an empty shell that looks the same from the outside, so you can fill all 4 slots for aesthetics but not take a hit to performance.

why tho?

 

dont like it visually? because you arent loosing anything except points of failure. 

I simply want to stick with RGB if I am going to have RGB. I think it looks stupid that I have RGB RAM and no RGB CPU cooling. If you suggest a RGB air cooler that's alright with me.

Does this motherboard have any RGB in the front? I can't seem to find any. It's called AORUS but there does not seem to be any visible RGB? I guess everything else looks fine

its got edge lit RGB afaik. and its an ITX board. so everything else is covered by either the AIO/aircooler and the GPU and other components. other than that it doesnt have any RGB, but its essentially the best x570 itx board AM4 has to offer outside of very, very expencive options.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

You should not use gigabyte x570 motherboards, because they only support 3200mhz ram.

and up to 4266mhz OC. like any other mobo manufacturer.............. 3200mhz is the official spec of the Zen 2 CPUs. so that statement is missleading at best.

doesnt have the correct Bios. Ram doesnt have pricing. and neither does the 1TB HDD. not to mention, isnt overpaying for a 1TB HDD silly when 2TB options dont really cost extra. in a 1400-1600£ build

isnt this a copypaste of the first build you posted with a change to case, mobo and cooler? and offcourse slotting in uk before the link.

I switched the GPU to a more flashy one so that it fits more with the system.

I just noticed that the case fans you chose do not match the fans that will come with the AIO of the Corsair one. Can you please check and change the case fans you chose so they match or is that a bad idea?

Just drop the fans entirely. You will have 2 inntake and 1 exhaust. Not ideal. Tho the pack isnt neccesary. 

 

Ill have a look in about 20 min. Or you can just check the product page for the AIO. Then get that type of fan. 2 of them. 1 for top and 1 for rear
