Auraflow mentioned compatibility with major rgb tech, so I assume it should work. For the parts you mentioned, perhaps you might want to find those that are compatible with asus aura sync software? Best compatibility perhaps from asus own line of products eg keyboard get the asus claymore. Mouse get the rog gladius.

If strict compatibility is not a concern, there are plenty more choices eg keyboard can get logitech orion spectrum, corsair k70 rgb, or more affordable per key rgb mechanical keyboards. Nzxt hue light strips and so on.

Noted on your cpu g4560. It's a kabylake cpu. Just get the kabylake series of boards that has aura sync headers should do. But it is uncommon to see a pentium paired with a rog. Also take note of the rgb tax.

Rog is just a product line from asus appealing mostly to gamers and overclockers. It stands for Republic of Gamers anyway.

As such, the motherboard selection features both amd and intel chipsets respectively. Same goes for graphics card. Both nvidia and amd gpus are there.

Just curious. Are you using the b350f with an intel cpu?

Yes. Please don't insert amd ryzen to chipsets meant for intel CPUs. As a general guide, the z270 is meant for kabylake/skylake. The z370 is for coffee lake. The x399 is for hedt kabylake/skylake. The x370/b350 is for am4. The x499 is for tr4.

Price difference between a non-rgb or non-lit items to one with rgb lighting. Can be significant in some cases. Even though they are technically the same.

Eg razer nommo vs nommo chroma.
