My mobo options are pretty much restricted to these (with 3400G included): Eventually though, I'd like to get him a CPU and GPU upgrade for 2K gaming. So about £240 ($330) left for Mobo and CPU.ĭue to the lack of CPU and GPUs right now, I'm just getting a Ryzen 5 3400G APU in a bundle with a motherboard (I can't even find the APU in stock on it's own). I'm thinking for other than the mobo and CPU: Sorry if the question is a bit vague but I'm totally confused! Any help would be really appreciated.īolded the important bit below in case tl dr.īudget for build is ideally £450 ($620).

What would be a nice, simple mobo and case setup to achieve ARGB fans with simple speed control? I'm trying to make life as easy as possible and not worry about 12V, 5V, 3 PIN, 4 PIN combinations as it's proving a little too complicated for me. Buy a cheapish case with ARGB fans and it's own fan hub, like one of these:.Gigabyte B450 Aorus M or Msi b450 gaming pro carbon max Wifi) My aim is to have a case with 4 ARGB fans where the fans aren't always running full throttle, and cannot easily be turned off entirely (it's for an 8 year old). I'm struggling to plan out a build as I don't quite understand how to get a simple mobo/case combo that will play nice together.
