Hi, I've been following this forum and reading all sorts of reviews from everywhere for a while now.

 

 

I want to build a white themed build with leds. ( led strip, led fans, leds on the gpu etc).

 

I game a lot ( doom, the witcher , wow ,COD, dying light, gta 5, hitman etc ) on a 1440p 60hz monitor. I also stream and want to produce youtube videos in the future.

 

Here's what I have so far. 2000 canadian $ budget.

I'm not adding a cooler because bitwit was able to reach a 3.9 ghz overclock with rly good temps from the wraith spire and it has leds.


I would use the remaining 100$ for white led fans and maybe a led strip.

I know the ram is overpriced but I really want a perfectly nice white themed build. 

 

I would use the remaining 100$ for led fans and led strips, would like you guys to add that plz I' dont really know the best brands for that.

 

thank you

the cooler is there because it might be better than the stock one

 

iirc, the stock one is about the same as a 212 evo.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)
