First PC build.

[M3g4l0d0n]

I've been planning a build for the last 6 months for when i move in 2 months. If I could get some advice from some more experienced people that would be great. (I've already got most peripherals other than a monitor and keyboard)

Let me know what you guys think.

You're spending what feels like 25% of your budget on RGB. From here can either save the money or get better performance. Which one?
