RGB parts list?

[SuperNova]

I would like to know if anyone could make me a RGB PC parts list that is affordable, overclockable and 4K gaming. My budget is around $1,200 USD and I live in the US! I am using rgb to look flashy!

 

Thank You!

which is honestly a complete waste of money, it makes your computer look like a disgrace of a christmas tree, which is actually not even lit up properly. on top of RGB stuff costing a stupid amount of extra money, requiring a different piece of software for every component, and essentially being a nightmare to make them match.

 

EDIT: in other words, do you want to do RGB sensibly, or do you want a nausea-inducing disaster of a christmas tree?

Yeah let's do it. But let's not sacrifice performance. Parts that are RGB: GPU and Motherboard, the case isn't quite RGB but you can switch the light to some 7 or 8 options.

Alternatively, the sensible thing to do is get a good value build then add a Hue+

please remind me to yell at cablemod...

 

unless if they do it sensible and figure out a way to make the sleeving change color without emitting an ugly rainbow of light. essentially: "software configurable sleeving color" :P

you plug them into sata power and sata data and an extra cable comes along

you have to reboot into the bios and into the linux-based cablemod configurator
