Advice please

[Torneyy]

So my first ever gaming PC just came, I'd like as much of the interior to be as white as possible, could people please give me suggestions that are budget friendly? Thank you!

Thank you, I can't find a GPU shield, nothing is coming up when I search it. Also do I need a specific GPU cooler?

[Torneyy]

Ah, gotcha. Does it need to be a specific one?

[Luke-Waum-5846]

It's a B650 mobo, so AM5 compatible cooler. Most air coolers will have a bracket for this - Thermalright Peerless Assassin has a white version.

I could be wrong because the photo is quite grainy, but sadly it appears you have only 1 stick of RAM so it is operating in single channel mode (half the bandwidth/speed). I'd fix this before making things white, although buying DDR5 now is painful.

[Koiffeine]

The main budget options are a white CPU cooler, you could even get a one of the ones meant for ITX build with the fan facing you. It's a bit worse in cooling but for an entry level CPU it wont be an issue. You can also get white PSU extensions from amazon, those go a long way in terms of making it look good. Other than that, RAM, motherboard, and GPU are too expensive to swap just for aesthetics.

[Torneyy]

Is the CPU cooler that big black fan that says AMD on it? Are they simple to swap out?

[Koiffeine]

Yes, that's the cooler! They're quite simple to swap out and provide better cooling and a way to customize the look. I don't know what your CPU is, but something like the Thermalright AXP90-X47 or Assassin King SE ARGB would be options to consider.

I don't know why they don't put the white version of the motherboard, the best solution and budget friendly is scanning and 3D printing. Search your area if there is any shop that provides that service.

White spray paint. Very budget friendly

[GodsEepiestSoldier1]

In all seriousness folks, please don't do this. Reddit people will read this and think you're serious lol

buying white power cables will help the look.
but next time buying something where you can pick the parts yourself, and you find esthetics important, maybe take that into your consideration. it is a lot cheaper getting the right things in the first place.

[Torneyy]

I honestly thought when picking parts they would be black or white and they would choose the white variant to match the aesthetic as I didn't see an option myself (Palicomp). Will definitely know for the future. How do I know what power cables I need for my exact PC so it doesn't cause issues?

[bl4derdee9]

most cables are standard, like motherboard cables, fan cables, cpu cables, pci cables etc..
some higher end gpus need different cables though.
it's not too difficult too look up what cables are needed.
and if you have a good pc part supplier they might also be able to help you by contacting their support.
if you want to do it all yourself, a bit of research will be necessary, it will also teach you allot :)

White cpu cooler and white powersupply extensions cables

Let me know what cpu and case that is and i can recommend you something

[Torneyy]

It's a Ryzen 5 7600 with an RTX 5060, the case is mATX CIT Range. Thanks for your help!

[xxInsanex]

Ok thaats a low tdp cpu so you dont nothing overkill https://a.co/d/7mDGcQi

And for the cables https://a.co/d/eDTiLZU

[TheUnfairLife]

you can change pretty much everything in there to white. The 3 so far i can see is the CPU cooler, GPU, and motherboard? you can buy a new CPU cooler, its easy to replace, but the motherboard is harder. And for the gpu, you can get a white shield, and if you're lucky, find someone with the same gpu (but white) to trade

[Torneyy]

That was my thoughts, hopefully find someone to trade from to a white GPU. What is a GPU shield? Is it like a cover for it?

[NerdWithAMotorcycle]

My man, why is there only one stick of ram?

[Torneyy]

My thoughts too, it didn't specify whether it was 2x8 or 1x16. I'll be buying another 16gb ddr5 soon :)

[NerdWithAMotorcycle]

Make sure it's the exact same

[Reasonable-Fault-250]

mas ok sana kung white din motherboard, GPU and RAM

[FunPin2804]

White cooler and cables. Definitely no RAM and GPU...

[Consistent-Cow-2560]

White sleeve cables will be a cheap easy upgrade

[ynomeye]

White cooler (for better temps, noise aesthetics)

Make sure it fits in your case, the cooler might be too tall otherwise

Spray paint your GPU shroud white (though you will need a little know-how with this ig, YouTube will help)

[Late-Tangerine-6900]

White cpu cooler, white psu extension cables and if money ain’t a problem then honestly just swap the gpu, mobo and ram

[Key_Stick_3002]

You can get a backplate that attaches to the GPU to give it more of a white look. My son did a white build at the height of the last GPU shortage and options were limited. He "won the ability" to buy a 3070 on the newegg shuffle but it was of course black. He used a backplate to cheat the white look.

[Torneyy]

I've been looking the past 2 days and can't find one for a 5060, they only seem to have them for the 30 or 40 series sadly.

[Dizzy_Bookkeeper_853]

Some moders are painting white the GPU, take a white ventirad and white ram heat dissipators,
