yah but its not especially balanced, a H100 AIO and a 2600 is an odd choice and the PSU is fairly overkill wattage wise

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)

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#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 stock is good enough for the 2600, you could throw in a better chip with the money spent and get something like an NH-U12 or Freezer 33(i think that has AM4 mounts, not 100% sure)

Instead of getting that corsair cooler,  what about getting the ryzen 7 2700 (also comes with a cooler)

 

Can anyone give their input on this idea?

Is your friend ok to build his own or is he needing a pre-built system ? In any case that ram is a bit slow for ryzen. You should aim for 3000MHz. Something like an Arctic Cooler 34 esports duo would do for the cooler. The MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is a better board and that has onboard wifi.

 

Most pc stores will build you a system if you buy the parts from them. So something like below is what I would aim for. You have Overclockers, Scan and Aria (Gladiator) who are pretty good.
