I am going to upgrade my rig soon and I wanted to know which set of LEDs would be the best.

They are all $15 AUD and 30cm long. I am going to buy stuff from PCCG and PLE, so it doesn't matter which one you pick.

You could always get corsair led fans thats what i have and they are quiet and glow the case

I would not recommend using fans as a primary lighting source if at all. LED strips can be easily routed out of site and give much more even light.

They all seem fine if you don't need to change colors or want any kind of customization. They are all powered from a molex connection. I would go with the first or 3rd that you listed as you can add additional strips to them if you want more light. 

 

That said, if you want to have the option of RGB, software control, etc....then something like the NZXT Hue+ would be the way to go. It is much more expensive but also has many more features than an Always on strip of lighting. You might also think about a cold cathode lighting solution if you want always on lighting.

I don't have $95 to spend on LEDs sadly, (I wish I did)

These are good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281555930702?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=580574864859&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I know that its cheap I have them and they are great for 4 USD. Can send pics if u need. Just throwing it out. The adhesive back may come off but the leds are nice. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.
