Despite how much I dislike working with hardware, I'm toying with the idea of building my own PC. A quick perusal through Newegg leaves me wondering why everything related to gaming PCs has to have RGB lights everywhere? How am I supposed to sleep at night when my computer's acting like it's at a rave?

For what it's worth, I would HIGHLY recommend not shopping on Newegg. A decade ago, they were the gold standard. Since then, they got bought out, and the new owners have gutted the customer support system.

Microcenter is what you're looking for, whether you want to shop online or in-store. Although, if you don't have a physical store near you, I dunno if you might have to pay more for shipping or anything.

@JakenVeina I looked at Microcenter but a lot of stuff seems to only be available in store and there isn't one close by. The closest one is 3 hours away. I'm also hesitant to buy computer parts from Amazon so Newegg seems to be the only good option. I'll probably also check B&H to see if they have everything.
