PC for my cousin

Budget (including currency): €1300,-

Country: The Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Daily work, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Witcher 3

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): pcpartpicker This is what I got right now. He wants to use two screens (reconmend him decent ones please, outside of this budget) other peripherals are not needed. Does it need a different CPU cooler or is the stock cooler OK?

A few suggestions. The motherboard is available with WiFi. Use the savings to replace the storage with a single high performance 2TB NVMe drive. Get the Airflow version of the H510. The non Airflow Version tends to be toasty. Even an inexpensive aftermarket cpu cooler will reduce temps and thus noise levels.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Better build overall also much better GPU and the MB comes with wifi.

 

Monitors recommendation:

For the second monitor AOC or LG 

For main monitor LG
