Ugh - I didn’t realize I was making a mistake “upgrading” from the CX450 to the CX500. That’s a tricky gotcha.

For the love of god if your on a budget do not buy anything with RGB or you will overpay. A pack of the little led lights cost pennies but put one on a fan and its a lot more $$. Same with mobo, coolers, GPU, cases, PSU, ram etc etc. Better off going to an auto parts store and buying a strip for inside the case and savin a few bucks

So you’re saying my *RGB USB ports* are low impact on my pc?

I disagree, mother board is a very important part. your win license is tie in with it and you can't swap it out easy. it also restrict all your future upgrades from memory to cpu to space and slots. you should spend more on your motherboard to get a mid range one at least. power supply and case can upgrade any time...even graphic card you can downgrade if money is tight and just run game on lower spec. 8-16 gb memory is good enough for win.

Always some lucky turd who just randomly enter and win that's why I never enter giveaways some are rigged or scams these guys seem legit but still I never won a giveaway after 3 years doing them on a lot of small and big channels and some are not true subscribers they find it on the website and then sub. I had my desktop computer stolen and I haven't done a gaming video in months my channel is at a stand still I have a back up drive and was using my acer aspire one cloud book using windows movie maker but the hard drive is a 125 Gb drive and can't fit a lot apps on it and now I can't load any videos that's I have done and will not load in the editing softwear
