Not everything will work from ICUE as far as I'm aware.

 

You'll need to download something like I use. SignalRGB. Evey thing controlled through that software. Game integrations (with the pro version) and customizable designs.

I use if for my keyboard, mouse, headset stand, mouse pad, fans, ram, motherboard, CPU cooler and GPU. All different branded products so trust me it syncs everything.

 

As fr the build itself looks great. Not a gigabyte/aorus fan in the slightest just personal preference of brands I trust more so. If you like them then by all means. It'll look good with the build color. The price you got for everything it damn good too.

You have a 250GB M.2 NVME SSD for $53 and an additional 1TB SSD for $115.

That's a total 1TB and 250GB for $168.

I thing it would make more sense and give you a lot fewer headaches if you just bough a larger M.2 NVME SSD and omitted the other one.

The Samsung 970 Evo Plus is:

1TB for $127

2TB for $220

 

Personally I thing you should go for the 2TB version since games and raw video footage for editing takes up a lot of space.

The motherboard is known to have a ethernet issue is this something i should worry about or is it unlikely i get a board with this defect

I would go for an i7-11700K instead, and then you can get more storage for the build too. Also added another case fan for the back of the case (exhaust).

Would you recommend the i7 12700k if i can get it at 350$ or the i9 11900k at 350$ if i increase my budget to get more ssd storage
