ADVICE, spec me a White PC build (Why are white MBs so expensive?)

[Bad_Boi]

Hey guys

For my 12yr old daughter, I'm wanting to upgrade and build a White PC for gaming (steam, roblox, Sims), budget is £700-£1000

Why are white MBs so expensive?

Spec I need is

White/glass case
White MB
No preference on CPU
White CPU cooler
White Ram (32 GB)
White GFX card

M.2 NVME Solid State Drive​

White psu if visible in case
Plenty of RGB fans

We don't need monitors, keyboard, mouse, or operating system
This is rough whatever put together so far

Slightly over budget there by £1,179.98.

White motherboards are probably expensive due to relatively low sales volume compared to regular/standard colours.

I have my doubts you'll get one in budget but will give it a go.

B-Grade CPU, but slightly over budget anyway:

Apoligies guys I'm so dumb I need to pay more attention.

Off to bed

You're spending more for less, it's a niche interest -- the key saving is with the PSU because it's behind a bloody shroud in 99% of cases anyway.

It's a borderline scam, why do you need a white PSU when you cannot actually see the thing? With a build like that you're probably going custom cables anyway.

White PSU you get white cables for an extra £10 over the black on the phanteks , you pay more than That for custom cables so not a bad deal .

The Lian li PSU in your spec is SFX and has short cables that will need extensions to work in that case.
Did you mean to add the Phanteks?

K, going slightly over budget but putting in a 7800XT gpu in there


For mobo I'd go MSI MAG B650M gaming plus wifi for £149.99...make b650msure it's the plus version..far better than the B650M gaming wifi...board not on OCuk so look away
as the mobo is black board with white highlights put black ram as cheaper but with rgb strip on top the body will blend away into the board and you'll just see the rgb on top...also black psu as wont see it and black cables into black ports
the msi A750GL 750 i put in thre as £90...if you look elsewhere the 850W version is available with free delivery for £88, so don't get the 750w version below
For case theres coice...the MSI MAG pano M100R PZ is available as an open box for £80 same place you can get the mobo or £90 new...put vid below so hyou can see what it looks like..HU did build with it as youcan see on shelf in vids, but build below

so mobo and case 150+80= 230 so total is 1095

if you drop to the saphire pure 7700XT for £368.99 then price drops to £1007 which is at your top end (remember the 850w ps for £88), but put the 7800XT in there just so you could see
