Hey, 

I'm Building a Budget/mid-range PC For My friend and was wondering what cooller should I use?

 

System specs: (not purchased yet)

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600/ 3600 (I haven't convinced him to go third gen, yet...) 

CPU TDP: 65w (Both cpus are the same)

Mobo: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra

Ram: 2x8 gb of Corsair Vengance LPX 3200 mhz (DDR4)

PSU: Corsair CX550M (550W)

Case:Corsair Carbide 275R ATX Mid 

GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC 6G

Storage: He already has a few hard drives and a boot ssd, we might get an m.2 nvme ssd to boot off

 

If you have any recommendations for the cooler or anything in the system, please let me know

 

Keep in mind the build is budget/midrange, the socket is AM4, and I'm looking to do some light Overclcoking with either cpus

 

Thanks

how cheap? It's a B450 board with X470 features and clock gen, in other words an interesting yet usually bad choice for the money.

only a little better than 1660, so for the price the 1660 is usually better,

The x470 board is 170 cad while  the b450 aorus elite is 150 (CAD) wich is 130 and 113 in usd

 

For the gpu, good point ill either go with the 1660 or something in the rx 500 series , what would you reccomend for those cards

that's why I dont really buy Gigabyte's B450 and X470 lineup.  MSI offers better hardware and some even BIOS flashing capability without a working older CPU for less money

Zotac Gaming (twin fan card that's not the amp) has better cooling, while EVGA gaming (single fan 3 slot thick) is workable for cooling and has EVGA's excellent customer service to back it up.

You could try using the stock cooler first before deciding on whether or not to replace it. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
