How do I Sync my rgb components?

[kenchu]

I am planning to do an RGB buid.
I will use deepcool led strips.
Logitech rgb mouse.
Logitech rgb keyboard.

Is it possible via software to syncronize those 3 things?
The strip says it's aura compatible.
Do I really need an aura mobo to sync my components? Or is it posdibe with a common msi motherboard?

Only if you get an Aura compatible board and all of it is Asus compatible, RGB is a deep rabbit hole of wasting money.
Get a strip and maybe a light up mobo, but don't go any further, waste of cash.
What's your budget for your build?

Aura compatible RGB components require an Aura motherboard and software to sync it all together. While some parts can work with different motherboards that use a different system (i.e. MSI Mystic) it's never a guarantee. What you can do is try to sync the lights together using different programs in tandem.

I want to build my gf a pc as a gift. I work and stuy but can save little money. I am planning to give her a complete setup as a gift for christmas... in 2018. Since building a nice looking build will cost me a lot.
It will be a low-gaming pc, since she only plays l4d2, gta san andreas online, and will use it as an htpc for sure.
I will do a g4560 + rx 460 white build in the nzxt manta white. I want it to have rgb lights so she will can make it whatever colour she wants.
I wish she could change mouse + keyboard + led strip colour with a simple tweak in her desktop.

In order to do so I must buy an aura motherboard and rog mouse and keyboard?

Yeah but I want to keep it simple for her withot having to open a bunch of programs.
I live in a country where prices sometimes differ so much from america. It is a low budget pc but with the objective of awesome looks. And of course, very durable components, I want this pc to last her as long as possible (going for a seasonic psu, hitachi/toshiba hdd, ssd, filtered case,etc..).
