From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you are happy with the amount of Ram you have Corsair offers a “decoy” module CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO Light Enhancement Kit (Memory not Included) – White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L2SKQX9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_3QFFVP5X6ZHHM5CG1CEZ?psc=1

To add to the RGB tax :) if those are the corsair vengeance pros, corsair does sell dummy ram kits purely to fill out the 4 ram slots.

Those aren't display models, they're a "Light Enhancement Kit", a fancy LED that you can stick into your empty RAM slot to pretend you have all of them filled. No point to them, other than bling. It's arguable if 40 bucks for that is expensive or not, to me it definitely is.

I reccomend a pair of these, seeing that a big part of this build is aesthetic. I use these in my system and they make it look so much fuller and clean, minus the cost for another two sticks of memory

4 DIMM slot motherboard? If so, stick these in the other slots.

Buy 2 sticks of RAM, you can buy the Corsair Light Enhancement Kit later on when you save $40. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L2SKQX9/ref=twister_B07LC79MRF

Save $20 buying 2 sticks now. Cost more for more sticks.

Here it is as a 5900X https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vZPRzf

If you build with a 5800X it will cost you about $125 less. Then you can spend money on a motherboard that looks more like the white aesthetic you are looking for and buy 4 sticks of RAM or the 2 + light enhancement kit.

Look for the items in the list above in your country. Your CPU cooler is not worth $200... I changed it for a great performing 360MM.

Your total was $2,908 AUD. My total is $1,951 USD which comes out to $2,867 AUD. Saved money, better cooling from AIO, better cooling from Case, better motherboard.

Your RAM should be 2x16GB, not 4x8GB. This allows for future expansion if needed. If you just want to fill the blanks for aesthetics, you can buy this Corsair Light Enhancement kit, made specifically for that. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L2SKQX9/ref=twister_B07LC79MRF

Improved the motherboard based on you wanting a K series, unlocked CPU.

Changed Samsung drives for Silicon Power drives. Perform identically in the real world. Save a bunch.

NZXT cases are garbage.. changed for 4000D Airflow (on big sale right now), better design, better thermals, and save more money.

Do you really need a 1000W PSU for that system? No, but it's not bad to have, however, you can get the same, cheaper. Changed that too.

There are no photos, sorry.

If you look at the Q/A in the link, there is an answer that it is possible.

It worked pretty well when used together.

Oh, they are "dummy sticks" sold by corsair just so to complete the look without having to buy an entire 4 stick ram kit. Here's the link for them.

Dummy sticks are a thing.

I’m gonna change the ram to Corsair vengeance pro 2 x 16 and get these as well CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO Light Enhancement Kit (Memory not Included) – White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L2SKQX9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_9CETKV3T7807AN29JEH4?psc=1

A few other vendors also offer this.

While I was shopping around for my new pc I found this White Corsair Vengance Light Enhancement Kit

I recently bough light kit (fake ram) for Corsair Vengeance Light Kit just looks better and if you have some extra cash to spend.

I love the look, if you wanted corsair sells dummy ram sticks that just have the lights. They fill up those extra slots and add a bit more rgb to the build.

I'll just leave this right here. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07L2SKQX9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vHW.FbX8T079M?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Pretty much, here take a look

I had to go a bit over budget and hope that is not a problem. A lot of the budget was taken up by peripherals. I would have liked to put in a 2080 super but its not a huge set back. As for the future most upgrades would be for aesthetics and maybe down the line a new gpu but we would need to see what the future market looks likes for that. You can use these fake ram sticks to fill in the extra slots so you can leave room to upgrade in the future while still looking clean. You can also throw in these ll120 fans for more airflow and lighting. You would also need This to link up all the fans and other rgb items if you do get the fans. These can all happen down the line though. Most of these use icue to sync up the lighting where you basically have infinite possibilities to how it can look. I wanted to use This case but its a bit more expensive and you would need more fans which you could just throw in some cheaper fans like these as placeholders. You have a lot of options for this and its up to you what you like best though.

>my OCD. The two empty slots mess woth me.

There's another solution; you can buy RAM-compatible RGB without the RAM, precisely in order to fill empty RAM slots.

Some reviewers out there have said that they think it looks better than having two empty slots, so whichever one you go with, you can use aesthetics as an excuse. :)

$40 for 2 on amazon; considerably cheaper than an unneeded 32 GB of actual DRAM.

Corsair Is Selling Dummy RAM With RGB Lights ; 2018 dec 10

Edit: ah, here's one of the reviewers who is in favor for aesthetic reasons:

Why everyone should own dummy RGB memory modules

https://www.bit-tech.net/blogs/tech/memory/why-everyone-should-own-dummy-rgb-memory-modules/1/

Sorry for being a bit late, had to puzzle around a bit!

So I went for a mostly white build. Because when you go white, the LEDs will highlight these products. You can set up the LEDs in any way you want and it will always look great.
I included one extra LED strip, 6 fans and a vertical GPU mount as we talked about. The fans come with a Lighting Node PRO, which is a HUD for the fans & LED strips. It can connect 6 fans and 2 LED strips, so the LED strip I included as well as the RGB strip. However, the CPU cooler also comes with 2 RGB strips that you have to connect to the motherboard for it to function. Corsair is a bit of a bitch to get it to function with motherboard their software. So you will have to use the Corsair software as well as the Asus aura.

Hope you like it and If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Oh it's this bot again.

• Overall the build is good, you can save a bit on your GPU by getting an open box. They usually come with a years warranty and are much cheaper (Here).
• You really can't go wrong with your SSD, Adata are a well known company and always develop good SSD's. But as etnguyen03 pointed out, NVMe is quicker (roughly 4x). I've personally never heard of Sabrant before so be sure to check reviews, or go with a more reputable company. The Samsung Evo Pro is one of the best NVMe's out right now, but they are quite expensive.
• Your PSU is overkill for the current build, you could defo save some money there... but its good to have if you're future proofing.
• I'd drop the CPU to a 3600 and get a better cooler. Or.. if your budget would allow it, get a 3700x. The stock cooler on that is perfect.. not to mention the better CPU (although not to much performance increase when gaming).
• Finally, not sure about the aesthetics of your build. You've got white LL120's and Black LL140's? Id also be inclined to get the black/white RGB Corsair Vengeance RAM. With the black and white case, plus the corsair fans, this would look much better!
