I would also prefer a white build with RGB lighting to turn it pink. White and black are neutral colors and are often available at a cheaper price, and it will survive her taste changing towards other colors. The delta can go towards an extra SSD or something to make the machine snappier.

Yesterday a mom came in with $1300+$500  top up today for a pink build for her daughter's 14Yr old birthday gift

So far I got most of the parts but still there are a few parts I need help with, these are the ones I have

 

Fractal Design Meshify C Mini white edition (paid extra to get express shipped) 

T-force gaming delta 3000mhtz cl 16 RGB ram (white matches case) 

T-force gaming delta-s ssd RGB 1tb - white (using a m.2 for boot drive so may not be visible) 

Corsair RM650X limited edition white psu - 10yrs warranty (had to get warehouse to help) thanks again Brandon 

Silverstone td02 slim white edition

EVGA GTX 1070ti 8gb ultra silent edition + cablemod vertical converter

Cablemod cables white/pink (cables and vertical converter in shipping) 

Thermaltake riing trio 120 mm rgb fans x6 + tt led strips(dual 3 pics packs) - tested both thermaltake and corsair LL thermaltake pinks were better 

The help and suggestions I need are for motherboard, I know msi has the mortar titanium b450 but it's got blue accents I'm hoping for more options in case the mom wants Intel and not ryzen

 

Total $1625 - if she goes Intel $1589 if she goes ryzen

One thing to consider is that going Ryzen she will have a better upgrade path than Intel. Assuming AMD delivers, of course. I don't see the exact processor or mobo you chose, though, so can't say for sure. A pcpartpicker.com link would help us a little more.

Ah sorry for ryzen I was going to get her the 2600 so she can use it for school as well if she needs it as for Intel a 8400 or a 9th gen if a can get a good price discount

If you go with intel, this is a good combo.
