Hello everyone I'm kinda new here. I've been in the group for a couple months and I've just been taking it all in. I've never had any experience with gaming pc's at all and I've finally decided I wanted to get one after years of console gaming. I have put many hours on google and I see all this stuff that is overwhelming. I don't know anything about building a pc but I'm willing to try. And I'd like to know your opinion on the cheapest possible setup to get the highest quality set up. I am looking to keep it under 1200. Not including monitor and other stuff. Just looking for your opinions on parts and other things. I know looks aren't important to function but I want it to look cool and I'd like to have rgb lighting themed through my build so let me know what you think is the best build for that money.

For RGB there is either 2 options. Have standard parts and then have a blazing LED lighting strip inside. Or have parts which can light up them self which I have done myself.

I'd suggest going for an Asus Strix motherboard and G.Skill Trident Z RGB as the center of the build. The Asus Aura software is great and I use it myself. It depends if you want to go Intel or AMD.

Again for sync control go for a Asus Strix GPU. Not the best value but the aesthetic is there.

I also got the Gladius II mouse which can sync up with the computer and there is the keyboard which can also which I will likely get later on. Depends on how far you wish to go.
