I think I would hold off on any upgrades for a while just to make sure everything else stabilizes first

a fancy liquid cooler is the last thing you need when you're out of a job. just spend a $20 on a cheap air cooler if you really need and keep the money.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

-Your out of a job

-You have a R5 2600

 

Why do you need an AIO? That is such a waste of money. The stock cooler is fine.

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

I agree with everyone replying not to buy an AIO due to your current situation, but you can get the Corsair Cappelix AIO include RGB and decent performance.

Not a good value AIO. The best value AIO is probably the Arctic Freezer II 360
