i will be buying ryzen 5 3600 and better gpu 

Ryzen 3600 comes with a decent cooler as well.

 

When your machine gets to the performance point that an AIO will eek out a little more... then get one.  That's my advice.  240mm AIO for a 1600 or 3600 just makes no sense.

 

 

So i have been thinking of getting an 240 aio and a few fans but i want them all to be from same brand so they can all be plugged in to one fan controler or something like that.And it would be good if they are silent 

 

my specs :

ryzen 5 1600

rx 570 4gb

16 gb ram 3200 mhz

Case:nr200p

650w sfx psu from thermaltake

1tb hdd ,240 gb ssd

b450 mini itx motherboard from asrock

The r5 1600 doesn't need the aio though. Unless you're buying an aio in preparation for a future upgrade I'd suggest not buying an aio and buying something else instead. 

 

That said the nr200/p can house 280mm rads and the performance between 240 and 280 is pretty significant so I'd suggest getting the arctic liquid freezer ii 280.

Maybe dont waste on a dumb asthetic and actually upgrade the freaking cpu 😐

 

Like come on if you arent gonna do any sort of overclocking then dont even bother with an aio

 

although if you want to do some ocing or just want an ultra silent system then go for something like the liquid freezer 280, beats a d15 whilst being quieter

 

otherwise dont bother and save up for a newer better cpu

I'd definitely save that money and use it toward real performance upgrades. Unless you're getting the AIO just for aesthetics, of course.  If so, buy anything that looks good to you.

 

Otherwise. cooling the 1600 a little more isn't doing a thing for you.

You wont need AIO. 1st gen Ryzen runs quite cool that their stock cooler is very much good enough even in mitx scenario.
