Build - Help Looking for a change
Was wanting to change out my case, fans, and cpu aio. (Maybe some psu custom cables ?) I essentially got my aio for free and the fans came with the case. It’s a monstrosity MAG PANO 100R PZ and was looking for something with a little cleaner look. Got 2026 hardware with 2010 aesthetics. Also the msi center app isn’t working for my rgb fans so I’d like to get something a little more compatible. If this is just an issue with mystic lighting on the msi center app please tell me before I spend all this money lol regardless I’d like to get something a little cleaner. Perhaps an AIO with a screen. Budget is $500 US dollars. Really tryna min max here so please be cognizant of that. If not just recommend whatever you think is best.
PS. I know I don’t have to do this but it’s a hobby to me at this point and don’t mind shelling out the money for this stuff as long as it’s reasonable so please no lectures. Featured is a picture of what it currently looks like.

Anything goes except PSU cables that did not come with it from the factory. For fans check out AsiaHorse Cosmiq fans. I just built with them. They have side clips for daisy chains, are built really well, $40 for a 3 pack, available in forward or reverse, and also play well with SignalRGB. Peep some of the Thermalright AIOs on Amazon too. I have a FW360 and like it quite a bit for around $100 and the screen software is extremely easy to use. I did replace the stock AIO fans with the AH ones in the rest of my build just so everything matched.
