RGB syncing in this build?

Armakar

Ordering my new build within 2 weeks!

Here's what i've (pretty much) settled on, let me know if there's any changes you'd recommend: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/HTLhhq


The main thing I wanted to know is, how the hell do I sync all this RGB using asus aura?
My assumption is the motherboard, GPU and RAM will sync easily because they're all directly connected to the mobo, but what about the case and whatever RGB fans I buy? Do I connect the case to some kind of header on the Mobo, and what about the fans?

Thanks:)

Asus has something called aura. I'm unsure if the ram can even be controlled

Yes, I'm aware of Asus aura (That's why I chose components that sync with it) I'm just wondering specifically about things that require a wire connection(usb/pwm or whatever) and how i'd go about syncing them with the motherboard (eg do I plug it into some special header)

Only the case needs the header I believe.

Do I have to buy some kind of special adapter or controller?
