what do i need for rgb computer

Go to solution Solved by dizmo,

You can do it either way, it kind of comes down to what you want to buy and how you want to work it.

I'd just get a case that has controllable fans built in already.

Budget (including currency): 

Country: 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

So I want to make a computer for my sister and her 4 kids, and I want it to be RGB. I already have 3 parts, a ryzen 5 7600x, Nvidia 3060 Ti, and a Corsair iCUE H100i RGB ELITE AIO CPU cooler.

Thats the build I made before I knew it was gonna be for my sister. So I want to see what changes I can do for the motherboard and tower size. I want to keep the same ram and ssd, but want to know what I need for RGB fans, like is there a RGB controller I need for the motherboard or do they just connect to the motherboard.

 

Any help is appreciated
