I can't recommend SSDs enough, even in budget builds.

An SSD will make the system boot faster and generally be more responsive.

She has her old ssd for boot drive, but i was thinking a 500gb ssd for her E-sports games.

You do know if you want to at least overclock it need a decent enough cooler for both CPU and vrms. Well you clearly know because its you so maybe tell the guy to run it stock. Maybe I'm wrong never test it myself anyway.

The Ryzen 2700 comes with the Wraith Spire cooler, its no Noctua D15 but its more than enough for at least a modest overclock. And it has heatsinks for the VRM which is pretty decent for a $70 board.

Well on paper it doesn't look that good but the heatsink is still there. I wouldn't say it decent because there is no line for how bad a VRM is IMO, I have not enough knowledge to determend for this price range getting this kinda stuff and so on.

Serious overclockers won't be looking at $70 motherboards anyway. And the forum has a tier list as a rough guide anyway on motherboards.
