Hi so I'm looking at buying the Phanteks Neon Strips in my PC that i'm going to build https://www.pccasegear.com/products/48072/phanteks-neon-digital-rgb-led-kit But I don't know if you need a particular case that's compatible or a particular motherboard that is ARGB or RGB compatible. 

 

Here is my build of my motherboard and CPU. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Josh1982/saved/#view=4PnRK8 

I haven't decided on a case because I want one that could possible support RGB bypassing the motherboard, the cases i'm looking at are, but im also open to suggestions.

To use ARGB devices you need an ARGB controller. The motherboard you have there is the controller you need, cuz it has  ARGB headers (Addressable LED Header)

so you are fine. Remember that Drgb or digita-RGB is the words manufacturers that didn't get the memo use, for ARGB 😄

FYI phanteks neon uses JST 3 pin connector

u probably will need a adapter cable to convert it to mobo ARGB ones
