Set out to build a pc under 1k. I got caught up in the aesthetics and came in just under $1500. In the past I would always put extra money in better parts opposed to making it look nice, but decided to give it a try.

 Msi B550 gaming plus, Ryzen 5 3600, Gigabyte 1660 Super, 32g XPG D41 3600. Running the Ryzen at 4.35 with 1.3v, never goes above 73c.

Great pc! Planning on building something similar with an over kill amount of RBG.

Thanks. Seems like people either love the rgb or hate it. The Msi Mystic light rainbow setting is stunning the way it cycles through colors. All my fans are 3 pin 5v adressable rgb except the 200mm top exhaust. I replaced the Thermaltake psu fan with a Cooler Master argb. Goodluck with your build. My only advice is to plan it out twice and make sure everything is compatible with your mobo...12v 4 pin are not compatible with 5v 3 pin connectors. My one set of fans had a 5 pin connection that ran to a hub that had a 3 pin connection to the mobo. Seems to be no standard to pc rgb fans. Also, it is a lot of spaghetti and connections to manage.
