First build-Thoughts?

[MeemzNotDreemz]

I KNOW, I KNOW! This is not a value oriented pc build, I could have gone cheaper on case, used stock cooler, or whatever else. Main object of this post is to get suggestions on the build. I'm aiming to have everything compatible with Aurasync and iCUE (could be either as iCUE just started supporting Aurasync stuff as far as I know). Also I kinda accidentally went with a white/black theme on interior so I would like to keep it (So I can get white/black cablemod cables in future)

 

I also have a question, looking to get 1 Corsair LL Fan so all my back exhaust fans are the same (Rad fans are LL)

(The front 3 intakes wont be super noticeable the way I'll have my pc on my desk) but worried about the RGB control on the fans. My case, Phanteks Evolv X has a universal fan hub but I dont think it has any RGB control. Being my first build I'm wondering how I could sync up my fans either with the included universal hub or with a different hub.

 

Waiting for prices to go back down (may be a while) before I build BTW*

Total price of build (including a generous 10% tax included) would come out to around $2,656.50

I reccomend the Arctic Freezer II AIO not that one you have on.170$ for a 240mm cooler is kinda stupid IMHO. Also What exactly are you doing that requires the 12 core and NVME storage like that? Could you not get a 3700X then get a better GPU?

As far as the Aura sync and iCue, I hate it. It really does not work that well and crashes a lot. TBH I just turned it all off now which is a shame because I was like you. That is why I went with the PC O11 dynamic ROG edition.

thx man, ended up going 3700X and a 2080 super with stock cooler (can always add a AIO when I want to overclock) also cut back on RAM (can always increase later). 

*ik the MOBO, LL fans and case are a little much*
