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

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.
