Build the Best RGB Gaming PC [Two Different Builds]

This is a guide to building the best RGB gaming PC for both casual and competitive gamers. It will walk you through the process of buying parts, assembling them, and installing Windows 10.

The best gaming pc build 2020 is a PC that can be used for both gaming and general use. This article will show two different builds, one with an Intel i5-9600K and the other with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X.

Introduction

We didn’t have RGB lights on every PC component 2-3 years ago, but today even the things we couldn’t imagine have RGB lights. The major PC components, such as the graphics card, motherboard, and RAM, have undoubtedly had these colorful LEDs for many years, but RGB lighting in power supplies, power cables, and chassis is a recent addition that does not leave anything colorless.

In this article, I’ll show you how to construct an almost complete RGB Gaming PC for between $1300 and $2000. You may certainly go higher if you wish, but the two designs I’m suggesting will give you the greatest looks and performance for your money. Today, $1000-$2000 can be spent to create a highly powerful 1440p gaming PC capable of maxing out games at 60+ frames per second, but the value of that PC rises even more when its cosmetics are improved, such as with RGB lighting.

You should not only concentrate on RGB components when creating a full RGB setup, but also RGB peripherals so that half of your desk isn’t devoid of lights and colors. I’ve also included a list of peripherals so you can put together the ideal setup with your buddies. Also, if you want to talk about anything, feel free to do so in the comments area!

Option 1 costs $1300. BUILDING A RGB GAMING COMPUTER

Details

For individuals who don’t want to spend a lot of money on RGB over-the-top PC components, the $1300 Gaming Build is the suggested option. Having a $1300 Gaming PC isn’t cheap, but you can’t get an All RGB PC with just $500. Almost everything on this PC is RGB. The CPU will be the lone exemption, since it will be concealed anyhow and will not be RGB.

I suggest the Asus Prime X470-Pro motherboard, which costs about $150, for the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. Even though the X570 motherboards are still available, the RGB versions are much more costly, often costing more than $250. The X470 is a chipset that is similar to the X570 and will be sufficient for overclocking the Ryzen 3600. On the I/O cover and chipset, there are white heatsinks and RGB. This will ensure that you get the most out of the RGB. Not only that, but the board is also equipped with RGB headers.

On top of the Ryzen 5 3600, I went with the MasterAir MA410M, which is an optional upgrade, but because the processor doesn’t come with an RGB CPU cooler and won’t be enough for strong overclocking, this dual fan cooler from Cooler Master will ensure that you get not only the best aesthetics but also the best cooling. I selected Gskill’s 16GB DDR4 RAM for quick operation. Right present, the higher the frequency of RAM modules, the better the performance of Ryzen CPUs will be. As a result, I went with the 3600MHz RAM modules with RGB lights on top. These RAM sticks will ensure that you get the most out of your games and will last for many years.

The next component is the Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super graphics card. There are many excellent RGB versions from various manufacturers, like as Asus and MSI, but the Gigabyte Aorus has unrivaled aesthetics thanks to its three RGB fans.

At 1440p resolution on extreme settings, the RTX 2060 Super will provide the finest visuals and smoothest gameplay. The Addlink SSD, which is NVME type and will be the quickest thing you will ever use, will provide 512GB of storage for these games. This is RGB as well, so it will brighten up your system even more. If 512GB is insufficient for storing a large number of large games, you may use a conventional hard drive or a SATA SSD.

All of this will be powered by the Thermaltake Smart Pro 650 watt power supply, which has an RGB fan that can be controlled through a button on the rear to alter the effects as desired. Not only will it be sufficient to power the whole system, but it will also have a high efficiency of approximately 85 percent on normal loads.

Now, to host all of the above, I utilized the Corsair 465X, which is the Crystal series’ next case after the 460X. It includes three 120mm Corsair LL RGB fans, which are the finest RGB fans on the market in my view. This case not only looks amazing, but it also has several excellent features that the 460X and 570X don’t have. It features excellent clearance from the sides at the front panel, allowing for optimum ventilation. It also includes a full-length PSU shroud that conveniently conceals the wires, as well as a power supply vent that faces upwards, through which you can view your PSU’s RGB fan if you position it upwards.

This is currently one of the finest $1300 RGB gaming PCs available. Some tweaks may be done here and there depending on your tastes, but as written, I don’t believe it requires any.

Peripherals to Consider

Option 2: BUILD A $2000 RGB GAMING PC

Details

The $2000 RGB PC has higher-end components than the $1300 PC. For the processor, I went for the Intel Core i7 9700K, which has 8 cores and 8 threads and is the fastest $350 Gaming CPU. This is the only 8-core i7 CPU with no hyperthreading among standard Intel CPUs, although it is more powerful than the i7 8700K, which has 6 cores and 12 threads. It can easily handle any high-end graphics card, such as the RTX 2080 or RTX 2080 Ti, and I went with the Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super for excellent 1440p and 4K gaming.

Gigabyte’s RTX 2080 Super has an Aorus design with three RGB fans that can be adjusted through the App Center. On a 1440p monitor, this card is more than capable of delivering 144+ frames per second. After the i9 9900K with RTX 2080 Ti, the i7 9700K with RTX 2080 Super is presently the quickest combination available, and for overclocking the 9700K, I selected the Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero Z390 Gaming Motherboard, which has 10 power phases and all the onboard capabilities for advanced overclocking.

I selected the Corsair H100i RGB Platinum CPU AIO cooler, which includes RGB in the block as well as the fans on the radiator, to keep the processor running for a long period without any dips in clock rates. It has a 240mm radiator and two 120mm Corsair ML PWM fans, both of which can be regulated through the bios and the Corsair iCue software.

I selected the TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 2x 8GB RAM sticks clocked at 3200MHz because they have extremely brilliant RGB lighting integrated on the heat spreaders, and I suggest the Gigabyte Aorus RGB NVME 512GB SSD since it features an aluminum heatsink and RGB lighting. You may certainly expand storage capacity by purchasing more storage devices, but I attempted to keep this setup around $2,000.

The Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 750 Watts power supply will be in charge of powering all of these components. It has a 140mm RGB fan with 5 lighting settings that can be adjusted through the RGB button on the back. This is a Gold-rated power supply, which indicates it will provide up to 90% efficiency on normal loads and produce less heat. It’s also completely modular, ensuring that you get the best and cleanest construction possible.

To house everything, I went with the Cooler Master H500M mid-tower chassis, which is one of my top three mid-tower cases of all time. For enormous airflow, it has two 200mm ARGB fans in the front and a vented front panel on the sides. It includes covers for fully concealing the wires at the rear and is modular enough to be built to suit your requirements. It’s large and hefty, and it’ll make an excellent piece of art to display the components.

Peripherals to Consider

Conclusion

There’s no need to be concerned if you’re still unsure about the components to utilize for your RGB project. I understand that there are many options, which may make it tough, but it’s also a positive thing since you can now pick according to your budget.
