A watercooler on a 10100f is just incredibly overkill and just a waste of money IMO. better spent getting a 10400f instead and just using the stock cooler in the box.

Show me a picture of your build and I'll rate it

This is just a parts list.

[Hairless Monkey]

Starting from a perfect score of 10:

• -1 point for 10th gen CPU with B560 chipset.
• -1 point for AIO with non-overclockable CPU.
• -1 point for storage configuration. All SATA SSDs, no NVME.
• -1 point for GPU selection.
• -1 point for 0 airflow case.
• -1 point for PSU selection.

That brings it to 4/10.

Are you asking for buyers advice?

 

I mean as it is:

Overkill cooler.

Very low end crappy motherboard limits upgrade potential severly and even throttles i5's.

Odd assortment of ssds

Overpriced beyond belief 1050ti. That and that card isn't even a 1080p 60fps card anymore these days. So not a good card at all.

Bad airflow case

Lower quality psu not something I'd get.

 

overall pretty bad build would not get.

okay, should i get a vetroo v5 and spend the rest of the money towards a case and gpu?

On a scale of 0-10 id rate it as a dumpster fire

 

Cooler is overkill

Weak cpu

Meh board

Sata ssds

Garbage airflow case

Meh psu

Garbage gpu

 

Only good thing is crucial ballistix cause great oc rams

i am running a i3 10100f 1050ti build rn and i get 120 fps+ in most games i play and in the more cpu heavy games im getting around 250-300 so i dont understand the weak cpu statement. 
I am putting the 1050ti in my next build until prices come down.
Do you have any recommendations for cases with good airflow for cheap?
and what psu should i get if thats meh? all the reviews are good

Have a look at the kolink observatory lite mesh for good airflow

 

Psu is meh but if its working well for you then no reason to change it unless you start having power issues if you decide to put a more powerful gpu, atleast the damn thing wont blow up unless you are really unlucky so no worries about that

Your post said "Rate my Build" with no further context. If you want better responses from the community, you have to include more detail. Otherwise we all assume that all of these parts are going to be bought new, today. And in that context the build is a dumpster fire. Everything is relative. Compared to current prices for current options on the market, the 10100 is a terrible choice.

 

You went out of your way to delete the default blurb in this forum section. If you had just filled it out, including existing parts, you would have gotten the responses that you were actually looking for.

i thought it was kinda obvious i was asking for opinion and or better alteratives but thats my bad for assuming and deleting the default burb. but as i have said currently the 10100 is doing fine for the games i play and i dont see it needing to be switched out. whereas other parts to my current build could do with a upgrade (the gpu case fans and cpu cooler)
