Posting this as it's relevant to me. Along with Asrock's recent initiative to sell mobos without RGB (for like £100 less!), I'm happy to announce there's a graphics card now too.

Stupidly it's a useless graphics card that nobody should ever buy, but here's to hoping that people who don't need RGB can get cheaper components without flashy lights on them :)

(I really don't have anything against RGB, if people love it, good for them. But I have something against not being able to buy anything without RGB and then paying a premium for something I don't want)

Does it really make a difference though? I mean price wise. How much could a few LEDs really cost?

I'd say that even if it's £20 cheaper I'd still buy the version without LEDs. So for me, it makes a difference, even if small.
