I'd say drop the thermal compound, you don't need it, and it isn't going to do you any better.

Kingwin for Windows 10 OEM, It's about $25

Drop the WiFi adapter, just use the onboard WiFi

I wouldn't worry about the anti-virus. Safe practices and things like Windows Defender would do you just fine.

I'm not sure the graphics card and monitor match up........

The build seems a bit of a jumble of high end and super budget parts, and is actually kinda confusing.

The i5s don't really clock any better than the i7s so that would just be a waste of time unless he is trying to save money, in which case it would be a better idea to look at Ryzen.

 

 

The OP doesn't need thermal paste since the CPU cooler comes with its own. I personally would recommend a be quiet Pure Rock or a Cryorig H7 instead of 212 evo. Both coolers perform better for the same price.

 

PSU is kind of overkill, but couldn't really hurt unless budget is a concern.

 

The case that the OP chose is not known for its ease to work in. It is rather cheaply made, has little room for cable management and somewhat restrictive airflow.

 

Don't use any external drive, get an internal hard drive instead since they are pretty much the same

Cut the thermal paste regardless of what cooler you get. They all come with some sort of thermal paste installed.
