So I have been getting into the entire RGB craze thanks to gifts from others as well as me investing into the Philips Hue system. I think that now that I have upgraded many core components of my rig, it's time to upgrade the rest. I am new to the world of RGB inside of pc systems as my previous focus was on high performance as quiet as possible

 

Existing components

  • Ryzen 9 3950x
  • Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming 
  • 2 x 16gb G.Skill Ripjaw V 3200mhz (replace)
  • Asus ROG Strix GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ Advanced edition
  • Samsung Evo 960 500gb NVME + 2 x 2TB Seagate Barracuda + 2 500GB Samsung Evo 850
  • EVGA Supernova 650 G2 (replace)
  • Noctua NH-D15 (replace)
  • Fractal Designs Define-C windowless (replace)
  • Alienware AW3418DW + LG 34uc87c + Dell u3419w

 

Here is what I would like:

  • A case similar in size to my existing one if possible
  • Aura sync compatibility if possible (I would like to be able to control most if not everything with one piece of software).
  • As many components as possible to be RGB (I know this is overkill, but at this point, why not)
  • Avoid custom water cooling as I don't have the time or tools to do it (otherwise I would consider it)
  • Provide adequate cooling to the machine
  • Are GPU AiO's a thing or even worth it?
