You could use something like the NZXT Hue with light strips.

If you know how to code a bit (Python) you might be interested in the Pimoroni mote, as far as I know it's the cheapest option out there.

learning python at school ahaa

that would use the motherboards RGB pin

or there might exist some usb powered RGB strips with a remote to choose the color

yeh my motherboard has a software (msi light sync) which controls the rgb on motherboard

might have misunderstood your question, didn't you not want to use the motherboards RGB?

if you can use that then yes you can use light strips (most likely 4 pin/non adressable)

yeh i did want to us the 4 pin
