1. someone is probably gonna say why 2060 and not 2070, not planning to go like 24/7 gaming high fps games. i have motion sickness for games so that really sucks i know.

 

2. Power supply and CPU cooler is a reused part from my first ever PC build 5 years ago

Looks like a nice build! Only thing I would really add is an SSD, they are not that expensive at the moment and it makes a huge difference.

Installing Windows on the SSD will be considerably faster than the HDD.

120mm liquid cooler is more than enough for the 3600 unless OP is planning to OC like crazy.

thanks! will be uploading a pic of it once everything is up and running.

 

planning to buy a NVMe soon. gotta whack up my notepad with a few and check out reviews before getting them. you can throw me some recommendations too if you want.

always wanted to install windows on an SSD 

 

and yeah no, not planning to OC like crazy which is why i didn't upgrade cpu cooler since the 120mm liquid cooler one is kinda new still. less than 4 months old
