Not a bad PSU for the build, its a bronze 80+ PSU by EVGA,a very trustworthy PSU manufacturer.

The cooler inst unnecessary if you want low temps, plus Linus himself used a more expensive cooler on an i5-7500. 

 The ssd is used as a boot drive and if the op wanted to he can upgrade.

RAM may be out of stock but there are other kits out there for the same price.

Thank you for your complaints, but next time perhaps show a bit more positivity instead of hating on someone who is giving a suggestion.

I like it but let me give you my take. That is a very good power supply but personally you don't need a $60 dollar power supply. It's a bit overkill.

If your friend dosnt mind slow boot times than you dont need an ssd. Just stick a low captivity ssd in their, But in the end it's up to you.

Here is my final list to match your color scheme a bit more.  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kk8jm8

@herman mcpootis That's how you reply to someone suggestion, you just got schooled.

EVGA does NOT make their own power supplies. they get other companies to make it for them and they slap their labels in. that BT uses low-end components and is only rated for up to 30 degrees at full power.

the stock cooler is enough for a locked i5 as long as it doesn't cause overheating. the money saved would have been far better off used on a 120gb ssd instead.

i'd recommend you get the CX450M instead and use the stock cooler, use the money for an ssd to use as a boot drive. you'll see much better responsiveness and boot times with one.

I didnt actual know that about EVGA, thank you. I personally use corsair anyway. 

I always want to keep my parts cool, which is why I recommend the heat sink, but yes the stock cooler would work.

Ah yes, because if Linus used it it must be good.

 

That build as a whole is just a horrible build, imo. The stock cooler is enough that it won't be excessively loud while providing decent temps. For a locked cpu, at most you need a $10-$15 cooler, but usually stock is enough.

I would expect you to know more. Highly disappointed.

 

That PSU is a piece of junk, would much rather get the $30-40 (or even $20 on sale) Corsair CX450.

 

Plus for no OC stock is fine

Fair enough JDE.

But Seon dont be petty.
