Just use the cooler the Pentium comes with. You don't need to watercool a pentium unless you are doing it as a meme

Thanks for the help, is there anything else that needs changing?

O my lord

"Budget PC build"

> Has a Pentium with a cooler.

 

- Use a stock cooler and maybe upgrade your CPU/GPU/Memory/Storage

- With the money you save on a cooler get a SSD to load up Windows and certain games, store other stuff on your HDD (1TB should be fine?)

- You can get Windows 10 cheaper on internet (e.x G2A, Kinguin) (If you're gonna use them look at the sellers rep and all sales, I do not advice you to get it from there but it' an option)

- I don't really understand why you have a WiFi adapter in your "Budget Build" a cable should give you more stable and faster internet?

 

That's it basically

try this instead. get OS from reddit for $20-30 USD.\

thanks for the suggestion Herman, when i open it up on pcpartpicker it says theirs:

"Some Intel H110 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

Is this a problem or will it be fine.

sorry if its a stupid question im new at this.

@herman mcpootis he replied to you.

@RanoVeal it could be that the bios is updated already, if it's not you can ask the seller or a friend to update it with an older cpu

older 100 series chipset motherboards may not come with the bios needed to support kabylake cpus. it's already 6-7 months so it's likely already updated but ask the website seller if the bios has been updated to support kabylake or for the manufacture date(november 2016 or later should have them).
