Budget matters, not just performance. I’d prefer value over flashy specs.

Do we give up performance for appearance?

I suggest saving extra funds only for RGB and visual enhancements after ensuring your system meets your performance goals. A budget-friendly $5–15 RGB LED strip should fit comfortably within your limits while still providing some color options. It’s better to assemble the components yourself rather than purchasing a ready-made setup, even if you're new to building systems—there are many online guides that walk you through the process. If you’d like, I can provide a suggested component list tailored to your location and intended use.

I checked the component prices in Singapore using PcPartsPicker and found they’re quite high, particularly for items like coolers and power supplies—likely because of lingering pandemic effects. It might be worth waiting, as you could find better options later, especially with the upcoming release of Ryzen 4th generation. I think late July or August would be a more favorable time to purchase parts for a new build.

Thanks in advance. I won’t go online. I’ll pick up Square N in person.

Even if I expect similar high costs in stores, feel free to check component prices there. Just mention them or share a link if you need help reviewing the details. To begin your project, purchase items now at reasonable rates and hold off on more expensive components that might be cheaper later or are coming back with updates like new GPUs or CPUs.
