I done payed extra for the non rugby version of my ram.

My whole setup: ~14k
RGB cost: ~350€ which is around 2,5% of total cost.
Seems like I’m the exact opposite of what you consider an average PCMR redditor.

4 sticks rgb ram, $250 white mobo, 9 Lian Li infinity fans, $250+ aio with rgb fans and lcd screen, 1000w PSU (or IED PSU) $200 all glass case to show off their 12100f and white rog 4060 asking if it was a good purchase

RGB doesn’t always cost more

I have never understood the whole RGB all over the damn place. Like, if you don’t have all the RGB, you won’t need I giant PSU. 🤷♂️
If you’re already using high end hardware, go wild I guess. But when I see a 1000 dollar build using a full RGB fan setup with an overkill AIO I cry a little. You could’ve had something noticeably more powerful. Bonus tears for if a shit-tier PSU is used.

My computer case is a basic corsair 7,000D and I use a wire storage rack for my desk.

I can’t really say shit, although my current specs are ok I just play StarCraft, LoL, and Dota so it ends up being a waste lol.

You guys cant seem to understand that some people just want to pay more for aesthetics

I may have more money in Philips hue stuff than my GPU is worth lol

The only aesthetic thing I’ve ever understood is clean cable management (which I’m NOT good at). I used to play a lot in the wee hours of the morning, and I didn’t like having a rave going in my living room lol

What’s the point in having a better performing PC (at a fixed budget) if it’s too ugly or boring for social media? /s
$125 case, used. New is $310 in my area. $80 tower cooler, $550 worth of LianLi fans + $80 in EKWB RGB fans.
In total, $2350 in performance, $835 in case&cooling. Considering that I’m able to buy a $50 case with 3 fans preinstalled that will be ok for my components, it’s $785 invested in aesthetics.
I’m good with quarter of money spent being spent on aesthetics.

Then there’s this one guy with a whole white build + stock rtx

Modern keyboards are hella nice but I just can’t justify it when some of them cost as much as a high end processor, motherboard, NVME ssds etc

Built pc a month ago. I spent 30 more for the chromax black Noctua NH-D15. The only rgb was on the mobo (turned off in bios) and my ram. Everything else is black af 🖤

Meanwhile I build Frankensteins with multiple HDDs in a RAID, several drives all over the system, optical drives and color mis-matched parts…. oh, but at least I have RGB now in this 15 year old case I shoved modern parts into… and dremeled modern ports like USB-C in the front to replace the obsolete front connectors like Firewire.

More RGB = More FPS. PCMR Maths.

I wouldn’t call those Lian li fans aesthetics.
