Here’s my thoughts on my part choices

 

CPU: placeholder for new Ryzen parts, I’ll decide between the 6 or 8 core

 

Board: good enough for what I need, has an addressable RGB header and 2 normal RGB. BIOS version isn’t a problem as my local memory express will update it if I get it from there.

 

RAM: looks good, isn’t too overpriced

 

Case: Vertical GPU, K-boost, white. I know the airflow is bad but I’ll run it without the front on whenever I’m gaming or doing something intensive

 

PSU: good enough, modular

 

Fans: 5 RGB fans for 50 dollars, would look great and provide some more airflow.

Forgot to add I already have the GPU, a GTX 1660 XC Ultra EVGA

Look again. RGB memory starts around CA$100.

Yeah but 30 dollars extra isn’t that much for much better looks. Would I recommend it to anyone else? No it’s not worth it. But I am willing to spend the 30 bucks.

Seems good but I really want vertical GPU and the K boost is attractive too.

You can purchase something like this....

https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-PH-VGPUKT_02-Universal-Vertical-Pci/dp/B07MW73HTJ/ref=pd_cp_147_2?pd_rd_w=j3pNp&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=11GV01FWP2797D9QVY7Q&pd_rd_r=008a4457-9642-11e9-8a6c-e34c2ae4bc12&pd_rd_wg=0rxZ2&pd_rd_i=B07MW73HTJ&psc=1&refRID=11GV01FWP2797D9QVY7Q

 

Also, the 275r looks way better, tbh.

That isn't compatible with the 275R or almost any other case I've seen, it requires that there aren't bars in between the PCIE slots. 

 

Looks are subjective but I can see why you would say that.
