Not just leds, they have to be asus aura compatibles and in lot of webs just coolmod and phanteks are named. And are very expensive. How many lights per meter can it owns? They should be 12V 2A 5050 GB led strips???

"They should be 12V 2A 5050 GB led strips??? "
Yes, according to ASUS specs.

"Not just leds"
Leds and a connector that has to match the board's one.

"they have to be asus aura compatibles "
If according to the specs, they will be compatible for sure. It's not about drivers here. Just bulbs (read LEDs). Voltage, amperage and connector. Not more. Ok and colors, to match the ASUS ones... You're right.

Here's an option: https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Multi-Color-Strips-Upgrade-PH-LEDKT-M2/dp/B00M0R3CFQ/ref=pd_sbs_201_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00M0R3CFQ&pd_rd_r=T6G6E24YG7XBXWBZ5C5N&pd_rd_w=xSYnu&pd_rd_wg=uRekW&psc=1&refRID=T6G6E24YG7XBXWBZ5C5N

I am going to cut in the right size and glue magnets into this, so it will be magnetic.

And this for extensors:

Will the colors match with asus rgb headers?

The colors might not match the board's ones. Adding the costs, it would be more than https://www.amazon.es/Phanteks-PH-LEDKT-M1-Universal-carcasa-ordenador/dp/B00M0R2OTG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502042158&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Phanteks+Multi-Color+LED+Strips+2+Meter+Enthoo+Luxe+Case+Upgrade+%28PH-LEDKT_M2
The board's package does include an extender, so you might not need additional one.

The extensors that I included is for using the rest of led strip in the future. Because it is 5m. But if colors doesn't match I Will go with phanteks then.

Not sure about that... Try posting the question on amazon. They might work...
