Hey, thanks for taking the time to look at this; I'll try and keep it brief. I'm looking into upgrading this portable build, into a PC that I'm not going to be moving around lots. Ideally, I want to stream and make it look somewhat pretty. 

 

This is my old and current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Colecvv/saved/#view=4QQLD3


What I know so far is that I want the Ryzen 2700x, Asus ROG STRIX B450 motherboard, a ATX to SFX adapter bracket, Phankteks cable extenders, and H200i case. I have this and some other additional unrelated peripheral/desk stuff here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Colecvv/saved/#view=VHPD23

 

I have no idea what kind of cooler I need to get, or what fan (RGB) to get as well. I've heard NXZT has awful RGB software. I'd appreciate any advice on what I have currently or suggestions on what I should or shouldn't get in terms of what I haven't picked. Thanks in advance!

 

Some additional imformation: I play on 144hz, and don't have much of a budget within some reason. NOT looking to buy a whole new PC!

You could use the stock wraith cooler. It is pretty darn good

What kind of budget are you working with?

On the new list, ~200 more is all I'm willing to spend; small changes like RGB fans can be upgraded with a higher budget over time. I just want the essentials first—apologies for not clarifying originally.
