What's the rest of your proposed system exactly?

Your choice of fans has everything to do with what motherboard youll be using.

There's a mess of confusion now that 3 pin addressable fans are on the market & a lot of boards only have traditional 4 pin 5050 headers.

These 2 technologies are incompatible.

CPU:Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard: ASUS Rog Strix B350-F Gaming
RAM: 8GB DDR4 3000MHz
PC Case: Cougar MX330-G
HDD: 500GB (I will upgrade as soon as possible to 1TB)
PSU:Corsair CX 550M

If you haven't bought parts yet I would strongly suggest changing the board if rgb is a priority.

The strix only has 5050 headers, it will limit your choice of fans in that respect.

Cheaper boards with both 5050 & addressable headers

Asrock B450 Pro 4
ASROCK FATAL1TY B450 GAMING K4
Gigabyte - B450 AORUS PRO WIFI
MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon

The sp120 fans have a proprietary connector £ have to be used with a corsair controller hub.

Unless you're happy buying the full set of 3 fans & hub they shouldn't come into consideration.

What location are you, how many fans do you want, & what's your budget??

That case comes with a standard rear fan prefitted , you can fit 2 X 120s in the front.

so i can't get rgb fans if i get the b350-f?

 

[madmatt30]

You can but your options will be limited to 4 pin 5050 models.

Thats the reason I asked your location to check whats actually available for you.

I live in Greece. The motherboards that u sent me are more expensive than that i found.
