This build runs a bit more but it includes a better quality case that's easier to work with along with a better board that includes Realtek 4080 audio codec. Replace the 140mm exhaust fan that's included with this case with the 140mm ARGB fan down below for the full effect. You can cut the cost by going with that air cooler and RAM I posted in that previous build.
