Trying to build a pink case for the wife that’s relatively future proof. No gaming, just web browsing, music (not production), YouTube, and ms office stuff.

The problem is that I’ve only built two machines and this is the first time I’m doing a color scheme. Im also stuck between DDR4 and 5. I don’t think she needs the power but if I don’t get the 5 now I feel like I’d have to replace the mobo if she needs to upgrade.

If theres any suggestions yall have to make it more compatible, more pink, cheaper, or more powerful without spending much more, please roast me on it (don’t change the case though she’s set on that).

    I personally really don’t like PCs that light up, but some people do, and since you have a case with a window, which I assume means that you want to look inside, I guess you could put pink electroluminescent or LED strips in. I don’t think that you’re going to be using your PSU’s Molex connectors for anything else. Looking at the case manufacturer’s website, it appears to be steel rather than aluminum, so magnets should work on it.

      It’s funny to see my pc vs my fiancées. She has enough rgbs on to make her pc a lighthouse rave while mine is just a black box with only the ram being rbg, which I couldn’t find any without rgbs in the timeframe I had. I just turned the light white and use it to peek into my box when I need to.
