That's almost as much as the PSU!! Definitely not worth it haha

Yeah and cablemod is around the same price and often double if you go custom. There are extension kits that are less expensive (30-60$) but you add 30cm (~12 inches) of cables everywhere.

if you ever want rgb one day, also check out:

the coolermaster 212 black rgb and

corsair vengeance pro rgb / gskill trident z 

 

these parts mix and match pretty good with your current theme

I considered the Hyper 212 but it doesn't have any white so it wouldn't go that well with the theme of my build. Vengeance Pro is nice but not worth the extra price

Other things I need:

-Monitor (1080p 144Hz 24", preferably IPS)

-RGB lighting (LED strips? Controller?)

-VESA mount for dual monitors (currently have a 1080p IPS 60Hz display Ill be using as a second monitor)

Don't you want a 1440p 144Hz ?  

LED Strips : look at the Phanteks Neon they look great and are compatible with Asrock.

There are a lot of good one via amazon, I can't recommend any brand so go for the cheapest one with the best reviews

Too expensive. And I can't run games at 144FPS on 1440p anyways. Also all the TV shows, Netflix, movies etc are all in 1080p so theyd look worse on a 1440p display than a native 1080p one.

there comes in the AOC 24G2U, pretty new & good

 

dont know about led strips, but if cooler & ram have good rgb, you may not need the strips (all personal preference)

I was looking into the AOC but it has that ugly red stripe which is a deal break for me unfortunately
