This computer is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and I actually didn't plan on doing LED lights with this computer. I always thought they were gimmicky (which they kinda are, but dammit I'm bought in)
Anyway, if you have a computer you want lit up, with good software to control different modes, and colors, to shockingly precise detail then check out the nzxt hue+ thing is pretty cool.
When I built this computer I had bought the nzxt aer fans, not knowing that you needed the hue + to use them. So I purchased the hue+ afterwards, and it came with these LED strips, which I used to have the aqua color in the computer. The fans are the orange color.
Because this computer is using 4 LED strips and 8 fans it actually required 2 Hue + units, but as I said as gimmicky as it is, I became a little kid when I saw my computer light up, and I was sold. I bought another and immediately thought it'd be sweet to get some aqua and orange by my computer.
Fins up.
Edit: I made a gif showing one of my favorite modes called covering marquee for the lights. I'm lazy and the gif is shitty but whatever
You can set the lights to flash according to audio and even set it to change colors for the cpu and gpu Temps though. It's really cool.
$5 less than something new.. yea okay.

No it's not. The base Hue+ is $59.99 and comes with 4 strips. The Extension kit is $20.99 for 2 more strips. That's vs The Chroma Kit at $79.99 that comes with 2 strips and then 2 extra strips are $29.99. So that's $59.99 for a Hue+ with 4 strips or $109.98 for a Chroma+Extension to get 4 strips.
Now the upswing is Synapse is a lot more reliable than the CAM software that runs Hue+, which is a dumpster fire.
this will do it...
and god fucking dammit really? I received it yesterday and it went on sale today. FAK!!!! well good for anyone here looking for one.
So I just literally got back from purchasing that case, but in Black/Red. I'm convinced to do lighting as well. Question. This is the one your using right? Does it come with all the lights you used, or did you need the extension kit too? Also can you cake pix of the install location please.
Your chat spamming fingers will be glorious with a PC of this caliber. Liquid cooled? Check. Overclockable? Check. SSDs? You betcha. LEDs? Hell yeah. This is a truly sick looking build and will last you ages. ^^^this ^^^build ^^^is ^^^also ^^^in ^^^CAD ^^^prices ^^^as ^^^you ^^^requested

Pink themes are hard to find unfortunately so I went with all black but with this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computers-Accessories/NZXT-Colour-Changing-Internal-Controller/B018YZ0H1O/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1487802148&sr=8-6&keywords=hue%2B) you can have as many pink leds as you want! If you can hold off buying until early march then do so and see what Ryzen has to offer. Other wise this should be it! I would also suggest buying a 1440p monitor to fully take advantage of the GTX 1080
You mentioned future proofing and the Ti does that for sure, it's up to you but I'd find a way. Also I'd recommend getting the coolest all black case you can afford and buying some green lighting for it separately. Bitfenix has some LED strips in different colors you can get on Amazon pretty cheap. Or you can buy the Hue+ and change the color to literally what ever you want depending on your mood at that time. More expensive though for sure. If you ever get tired of green there's no going back when you buy a case that accents it for you lol.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computers-Accessories/NZXT-Colour-Changing-Internal-Controller/B018YZ0H1O/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
The NZXT Hue+ is my personal choice as it can be controlled through NZXT's custom software, CAM
I've read reviews that you can daisy chain up to 5 fans on Hue. I'll know for sure when they arrive in the post tomorrow!
EDIT: "Group and daisy chain up to 5 fans per channel from the HUE+ for extensive lighting modes that work in perfect harmony." https://www.amazon.co.uk/NZXT-Colour-Changing-Internal-Controller/dp/B018YZ0H1O

Dont be silly you arent bothering me, i like to help out where i can, the hue+ is actually the name of the controller box that the leds plug into, in the kit you get 4 led strips, the hue+ controller and all the cables/ extensions (it uses sata or molex, (i can't remember to be honest) to power it and connects to the motherboard via the usb 2.0 header
I will link the kit below, hope the information above helped!

Yeah... don't get that other build. Last gen CPU that needs to be OC'd to realise its potential, a cooler that isnt compatible with your case, a turd tier PSU and no white in sight.
So that case you have isn't really the best, and if money is no object, there are far better available that might also look better and will be a lot more functional, as well as having more room for RGB fans. Nevertheless you said she's bought it so the build below assumes that you do want to use that case. It also assumes you are using the fans it comes with - so I'm not really sure where you want to add the extra corsair RGB fans. That case only has 3 fan slots - 2 front and 1 rear, and 1 front and the rear are already occupied with the fans it comes with.
If you do decide not to use that case let me know and I'll change the build accordingly. Here are some examples of better cases:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tpp323/nzxt-h440-matte-whitepurple-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-h442w-w2
Also you could look at smaller cases if thats something you think she'd like, here are some good ones:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NnL7YJ/phanteks-case-phes215pwt
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VMLypg/fractal-design-case-fdcanode304wh
All of these are a similar kind of aesthetic but others are available, have a look here where I've set the filter for case colours of white/silver/purple.
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#c=35,36,38,62,64,66,82,83,87,89
Last note on the GPU - I really doubt you need anything this powerful for the games she wants to play, you could probably easily get away with a GTX 1050 or 1050 ti, but there's just nothing in that range that fits your colour scheme.

i kinda like the look of it, but do you really need that rgb? Or do you need that wi-fi adapter? The only reason why i would buy it is because of the overclocking features. But thats your choice. Oh, and if you want rgb i would recommend https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hue-Advanced-Lighting-AC-HUEPS-M1/dp/B018YZ0H1O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539176569&sr=8-4&keywords=hue%2B&th=1 best kit i've seen.
I bought
This mobo
with
This case
Ram and Air Cooler and This Lighting kit and These fans x3 for back and two on top
paired with MSI Gaming X 480 8GB gpu so that everything matches.
Yes overkill for this cpu but fuck it, I love the color scheme. I'll just benchmark the system and throw in a Kaby i5 7600K for the real CPU intended for this build right after and use the G4560 for an ultra cheap build I will gift to my son's friend so they can play some games together.
NZXT Hue+ will set you back around £50 and some cheap RGB strip will set you back around £11. I personally use the cheap kit I linked above and it works fine but it's very basic - best to use if you just want one static colour - the effets it comes with are pretty basic and not very well done imo...
I'm tellin' you guys, invest in a nice NZXT Hue+, it'll change your life. Make it easier too!
https://www.nzxt.com/products/hue-plus
https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hue-Advanced-Lighting-AC-HUEPS-M1/dp/B018YZ0H1O
They have adhesive and you can put it on anything. It comes with a remote to change colors or flash different ones, or anything you could really want. I was talking about this one specifically but one of the most popoular ones is the NZXT Hue+
is there anything comparable to the NZXT HUE+ but maybe a little less expensive? something that can do different colors and be programmed from the computer like the hue +

Thanks! I love the case. Awesome design and form factor. Made building in it as a first time builder a heck of a lot easier to because I can just be lazy and just stuff all the cables in the back where no one will see.
Edit: Oh and I got the light strips from here http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hue-Advanced-Lighting-AC-HUEPS-M1/dp/B018YZ0H1O
The most popular ones I've seen are the following:
NZXT Hue+: expensive, fancy, super customizable
Cablemod Widebeam: Tons of different options based on what you want, they have different colors, lengths, and mounting types as well. The magnetic RGB one is pretty close to the Hue+ while the basic strips are much cheaper but less customizable.
Bitfenix Alchemy 2.0: Very similar to the Cablemod ones, they come in various lengths and colors. No RGB options but can be fairly inexpensive.
Some good vidyas about them here and here. Hope this helped some.
If you have a spare 2.5" drive bay in your case's front panel, check out the NZXT Hue+. It's a comprehensive controller/management system for all your RGB needs. If you need extra strips, it can be slightly pricey (check Amazon), but the cost can be well worth it, from what I've seen.
If you want price tracking, this page on CamelCamelCamel should have you covered, for Amazon USA, anyway. Here's price tracking for the extension kit, too.
I'm lucky then...
NZXT Hue Plus: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018YZ0H1O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468201586&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=nzxt+hue+plus&dpPl=1&dpID=31CXT9Nw0wL&ref=plSrch
Kind of expensive, but cool nonetheless
https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-AC-HUEPS-M1-Hue-Advanced-Lighting/dp/B018YZ0H1O
Hue+
https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-AC-HUEPS-M1-Hue-Advanced-Lighting/dp/B018YZ0H1O
Will probably go on sale this BF. Pretty good lighting.
Non mobile:
https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-AC-HUEPS-M1-Hue-Advanced-Lighting/dp/B018YZ0H1O
In all fairness, I built my own. Does all the functions of a HUE+, but you just gotta program it to ;-;
Not to mention it is much brighter than a hue :)
The Case LEDs are the NZXT hue+, behind the monitor and laptop are Avaway 19" rgb strips.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018YZ0H1O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_aQwrQK9wN9byc
Amazon.
I ordered it knowing that they'll send it to me when they get some in. My next build isn't going to be ready until after Christmas (and retrailers stop gouging 6700k's) so it's not an urgent matter for me.
If you can wait I'd just order it from Amazon. I'd rather order from Amazon who I know I can trust than scouring the web for a retailer I'm not sure I can trust.
...and as an option to add some RGB lighting in the case:
https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-AC-HUEPS-M1-Hue-Advanced-Lighting/dp/B018YZ0H1O/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493655847&sr=1-1&keywords=nzxt+hue%2B
You might look into an NZXT rgb LED controller, not sure if you need it. I would also get an Asus Mobo that has Aura, with that you can control the rgb LEDs on the RAM and if you got an Asus GPU, the LED's on that as well. So essentially you could have two rgb LED systems, they won't sync together but it would still be nice.
http://pcpartpicker.com/product/b3jWGX/asus-strix-z270f-atx-lga1151-motherboard-strix-z270f
I have a NZXT Hue+. Right now has Outrun themed colors. I can easily change the colors when I feel like I need something fresh. Sometimes I just have them set to white, sometimes I change them to fit the holiday, sometimes I do different game themes, or sometimes I just set it to a color that fits my mood. The outrun color scheme is that main one I stick with though.
This is the new version of the Hue.
Edit: You can turn them off. I see so many anti-RGB elitists. One of the things I see come up often is that the lights can be annoying at certain times (though personally they haven't annoyed me at all). If you set the color to black, it's just like having no lights at all.
I have some CableMod WideBeam Magnetic RGB LED Strips, and I'm wondering if they are capable of doing something like this and having the colors cycle through the strip (instead of the entire strip cycling together).
If I was to purchase something like the NZXT Hue+ would I be able to do that with my RGB strips?
Is my current motherboard here compatible with the NZXT Hue+ ? I can provide my PSU and such if needed. Unsure if I have the correct connectors for it and such. Would I need an internal USB hub? Thanks!
> NZXT Hue+
Are you talking about the Hue+ or the normal Hue? You can see both on this page. https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hue-Advanced-Lighting-AC-HUEPS-M1/dp/B018YZ0H1O
The Hue+ really has no controls on the unit, but the original Hue makes more sense with what you are telling me.
Yes - it's available as a standalone product. Amazon (UK) has it, so I'd imagine it's available at retailers wherever you are.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/NZXT-Colour-Changing-Internal-Controller/dp/B018YZ0H1O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541078497&sr=8-2&keywords=nzxt+hue
Here's some of what I was looking to add to my case eventually.
NZXT Hue
LEDENET RGBW Strips
SuperNight RGBW Strips
Phanteks RGB Strips
1-2 RGBW Splitter
If your mobo doesn't have an rgb(w) header, the nzxt hue+ would be a good option. I believe there's CAM software to control the lighting, opposed to a physical controller which you would have to route outside your case or open it up to change anything.
If you do have a mobo header for LEDs, check if its RGB or RGBW, then grab what's needed. I believe the splitter would allow you to run two off of it (I was gonna do one inside my case and route one outside the case around the desk.)

they are most likely using the NZXT hue+. I use one on a non nzxt case and love it, though I hate the bloatware that nzxt forces you to use just to change colors and patterns.
Yes of course! Here two distributors!
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hue-Advanced-Lighting-AC-HUEPS-M1/dp/B018YZ0H1O
NZXT: https://www.nzxt.com/products/hue-plus
I use the NZXT Hue+ (https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hue-Advanced-Lighting-AC-HUEPS-M1/dp/B018YZ0H1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467843180&sr=8-1&keywords=nzxt+hue%2B) and it works great. If you decide to get, make sure you have an extra USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.
You can get NZXT HUE+ and mount it outside of the case. I'm using it in my build right now. Here's a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLpDPfsYQSA

Satechi also make LED strips. Search "satechi led" on Amazon.
CPU Cooler | NZXT Kraken X62 Liquid CPU Cooler | $159.99 @ B&H
Case | Corsair Crystal 460X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case | $139.99 @ B&H

Slap in some NZXT Hue+ and extension kit and turn your rig into SICK, GLORIOUS RGB ILLUMINATED BEAST.
