Hey

 

So i'm currently looking at this setup, but its kind of expensive. I'd like your opinions to lower the price without changing the specs really.

For example: do i need this cooler since i wont OC my cpu?

 

Im located in the EU and i already have all peripherals.

 

 

Oh and also im trying to keep the black and white theme going.

That's honestly not bad at all. That's a very good build and I would stick with it. You could go with Ryzen if you want but, I'm not a fan.

 

You could switch to a 120mm AIO if you wanted but I'd keep it. It'll be nice a cool.

Didn't even notice that... That build is $1,600 US. If I was doing a new build I would do this or go with 9th gen.
