Ive looked into Phillips Hue but those are super expensive. Any other just as good or similar with cheaper price tags? 

How much are you trying to spend? NZXT has their Hue+ LED lighting kit which is pretty darn good. Lots of settings, lots of lights, extensions, etc. It's about $60 USD

I really dont want to spend too much, I dont necessarily have a set number. As long as the thing is worth the money im fine with it

ebay is your friend.

5m LED strip w/ controller, power supply and remote. Should be less than $20 for an RGB kit. @manikyath and myself (probably many more) use DongHangLo strips and so far we haven't set ourselves on fire

Do you need them to be wifi controlled? You can get cheap chinese ones off Amazon (they're all the same just rebranded) that are just controlled via a little remote.
