Passive x active cooling

Trigonomancer

I'm planning on building the budget e-sports gaming PC:

CPU: Pentium g4560

GPU:gt 1030

Ram: 8GB ddr4

PSU: 400W 80plus

My only problem is that about the ground 1030 I don't know if I buy the passive cooling option or the active one, I don't know Wich one is better.

Hi, I am from Brazil and I pretend on building a Ryzen 2200G build. (to convert to Brazil's currency look up <your currcency> to BRL)

Why do you go for the 1030 and not a 1050 which costs maybe $40 more or a used gtx960 which are better graphics cards?

It doesn't really matter, if you're short on money why not go for the used market? :
