Get an NZXT Hue. The adhesive tape sucks (Badly) so to go along with that buy some double sided tape. Otherwise Im loving the one I have. Its bright, has RGB lighting, and tons of modes such as breathing.

I want to add a good looking blue or red led to my computer but I have no idea which string led is good. My case is a fractal define r4 if that helps. Thanks.

Red

 

Blue

 

I use the red ones in 2m length. They are bright enough and not glaring, have adjustable brightness and just work.

These look good but how bright are they I want a nice bright look.

They are plenty bright on the highest setting. My case is large (haf-x) and it lights up the case, the wall behind it (a foot away from the wall), the floor for 3 feet in front of it and the leds aren't even facing out away from the case. They are facing inwards towards the motherboard. In a smaller case they will appear to be brighter. You wont be disappointed with them.
