Greetings,
I'm making a pc for my cousin and he sent me the build a couple of days ago and since it has been around 6 years since i built mine, my knowledge is outdated and would like to hear your input.

I recommended a different cooler and cheaper motherboard.
let me know what do you guys think

Thank you,

Thank you for the quick reply.
I think he can exchange the psu but not sure what PSU are available at the local store. He is getting the PSU and the case from a local store since the shipping will be too expensive.
any reasons why should he go with this cooler instead of the liquid cooler?

Thanks,
