This is my friends build. I know there's no GPU included in the list because he already has a GTX 950 in his pre-built PC. It made me wonder if the 950 will cause a bottleneck issue, if it does, then recommend a different card please (or even a different CPU if it needs to fit the budget.)

That power supply is a piece of junk. Also change your harddrive, Seagates are prone to failing. Get a Hitachi or a WD harddrive.

What do you guys recommend for the PSU?

No need to get a CPU cooler, the 6500 already comes with one. The PSU is complete garbage.

I told him it wasn't necessary, but he still says he wants it.

 

BTW,  no bottleneck between a GTX 950 and an i5-6500?
