motherboard question

[Zach Brown]

Hi,

 

I am putting together a rgb build I want to know if this motherboard and graphics card will work together. I think the motherboard uses aura sync, and I think the graphics card uses rgb fusion. Plus the rest of my build will be using a corsair obsidian 500D se case with LL fans, which will use corsair iCUE i think. Should i switch to a gigabyte motherboard? If I did I would probably want a z390 board. Could I get a recommendation. Also any other input would be awesome. Here is the partpicker link if my build.

Consider getting either

 

1) An unlocked CPU

2) A motherboard that can't overclock CPUs

 

If you get an unlocked CPU and stick with Z390, get a better motherboard. The Z390-E has bad overclocking capabilities.

At the moment I am not looking to overclock it. I don't know if I have the budget to move up to an unlocked CPU. I am more trying to sync up software for the RBG lighting. But also thank you for the input! Do you have any input about the RGB syncing?

Get a Gigabyte Aorus board if you want compatibility between the GPU and motherboard.
