Do you think the fractal design would be able to run with just the 2 stock fans, or would you recommend adding a back one?

2 fans in the front and 1 in the back would be more or less optimal set up

Pretty cool PC. Don't know why half of the people here are bitching about EVGA Powersupplys, They are good, reliable, and they are the most known..

 

and also working 365 days with 1 doller a day paid off. And you are probably ONE of the first people to build a PC under 13 in your country. However for a 12 year old your PC is overkill (not saying its a bad thing).

Because brands don't matter that much, EVGA has both great and bad power supplies, it's inside what counts

that just confirms my (not the worst) fears. Btw there's canadian PCPP (ca.pcpartpicker.com)

 

i5-8400: Np

Pure Rock Slim: should have saved your money and use the stock cooler instead. You will be replacing this cooler if you want to overclock the 8600k

MSI Z370-A Pro: nowhere near good for overclocking, but pushing an 8600k should be fine.

2x4GB DDR4: Np

No SSD: sad. Moving the OS to another drive is hard work.

1TB HDD: Np

GTX 1060 6GB: Bad, RX 580 (performance equivalent), even the 8GB model, cost less in general.

Asus Strix: This card's value consists of mostly gimmick (I call RGB lights gimmick). GTX 1060 doesnt need that extra cooling.

Founders: worse cooling than Strix (or any dual fan design), no RGB, I dont know why would people that arent reviewers get their hands on these things.

Masterbox 5 Lite: Hardly any air for cooling, though leaving the side panel open solves the problem.

EVGA 500B: Garbage.Should have nought something tier 3 or higher from the list linked below

 

It's best to ask here before spending your money next time.

I mean, he doesn’t need to ask LTT forums before spending it on a build. As a person who has used MSi motherboards during lots of builds, they’re reliable. And in Canada they go for the cheapest z370 mobo price with the most features. The masterbox, yeah. I’ll admit it’s not for thermals and mostly for looks. But seriously. Everyone forgot the >13 aspect of this thread lol. Now they’re just criticizing the dude.

How difficult is it to ask here? Not like we charge $10 for each part list we post here anyway, no it's free of charge. I thought people love free recommendations?

 

Also you arent using factual data, but personal experience to judge computer hardware, and yes I'm criticizing you now.

 

Turning back to OP's case, I'm not (and didnt) say it's bad for a 13y/o's first attempt. I'm just disapppointed when it could have been so much better. Earning money isnt easy, that's why its important to get things right before spending it.
