Does your motherboard have an RGB header?

 

If yes, One of these will do: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIADDZ5HF1257&Description=rgb strip&cm_re=rgb_strip-_-9SIADDZ5HF1257-_-Product

 

If no, you'll probably want something more like this: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAFB17G65403&Description=rgb strip&cm_re=rgb_strip-_-1W8-00JK-00001-_-Product

The simplest would to be to RGB strips that are compatible with your motherboard.

Most motherboards released in the last 1~3 years will have 5050 RGB header(s).

 

Another option is to get eBay RGB strips that are powered via USB, Molex, or SATA.

The lighting for these are usually controlled with a wireless remote control of some sort.
