It's good but you don't need AIO at all, drop that air cooler, i5 7500 has a cooler already

well, if he drops that AiO, pls don't torture him with the stock cooler in an open case. Maybe he could use a cryorig c7 or something, just so he doesn't need to cover his ears.

Also, its much easier to mount than a 212evo..and will cool it easy..

Also, I like the case for the three fans it comes with..

Did you change the Mobo? You dont need a Z270 Chipset for a locked CPU that wont overclock, H270 will be fine. Save the 60$ and and buy a bigger 480gb SSD or something, i found a SanDisk Ultra II for 132 Dollars, or buy a fancy mouse or RGB all the Things.

I changed it to the z270 in case I ever want to change to one I can overclock.

But it is something I will need to think about

That is a very nice build but I feel that just the SSD alone might not be enough storage.
