get the 2600 and iirc it should come with an ok cooler

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

the one that comes with Ryzen is good enough generally. Ryzen is very architecture limited in how far you can push the clocks so you can generally get pretty close to the max  of the 2600 can reach withe even just the stock cooler
