Thanks Linus for making me a pimp :(

I have never thought of myself being a PC building geek.
I've never also thought that I would love the rave-inducing RGBs.
And here I am with my first built-PC with more RGB parts coming in tomorrow.

 

THANKS LOT LINUS :(
YOU'VE MADE ME INTO AN RGB PIMP

 

It first started of with a PC without a gpu, because i bought this pc mainly to help my wife facilitate her business.
The only thing RGB related in the PC was the casing itself which is the C/M MB500 and the C/M MA620P Cpu Cooler.
I started watching Linus because I wanted to learn more about building a PC, and that was when I was struck by the Unicorn vomit that Linus sprayed upon me.

Unluckily for me my MA620P has it's copper piping bent, so I went out to purchase a Corsair H115i Pro.
But because the Corsair H115i Pro can't be synced with AuraSYNC, I purchased the Corsair Spec Omega RGB case to pair with it.

I even replaced the HyperX Fury RGB Ram with the Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB.

Changed all the fans to LL series from Corsair.
And now I started buying gaming peripherals from Corsair mainly because of the Corsair Lighting Link thingy.


SPECS : 
Intel i7 8700K (Oc'ed to 5.2Ghz)
Asus ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming Motherboard (Was thinking if i should replace it with a  Maximus X Formula)
4x 8GB 3000Mhz Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB *Black*White*Black*White*
Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 ti

Corsair H115i Pro RGB Cpu Cooler

Corsair HX750i PSU

3x Corsair LL120 fans
2x Corsair LL140 fans

NZXT H700 case
Corsair RM850x PSU

Corsair K70 Mk.2 SE Cherry MX Speed

Corsair Glaive RGB & Corsair M65 Pro RGB - because 2 mice is better than one.

Corsair MM800 Polaris Cloth Mouse Pad

Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless Headset


No longer used item :
C/master MB500

C/master V650 PSU

Corsair Spec Omega RGB

16GB Kingston HyperX Fury Predator 2933Mhzx DDR4

 

 


Update.

My Spec Omega RGB has some damaged screw holes (tempered glass side) that damages my hex screws.

I ended up cracking the bottom left corner of my tempered glass because the last screw just fell off while i was removing the 3rd (out of 4) screws. :(
I will be transferring all the items into an NZXT H700 case while i RMA the Spec Omega RGB since the one i ordered yesterday arrived at my home today.

Where's the RGB headphone stand?!

Sigh... the lack of dedication is disappointing.

 

Oops, I see it now.

 

Jokes aside, nice build.

I've always imagined making a PC case from cutleries. But they'll fry the electronics easily.

RGB is cool and everything but have you tried playing a horror game with all these lights on? it totally ruins the experience imho

 

I have LEDs but also a switch (a whole dedicated PSU) to turn them off while I game

It's easy to turn it off especially by using Corsair iCue. And i can put a macro so that the rgb turns off when starting certain games :D
