Hi,
My friend is looking to build a new PC in the coming future and I've made him a build that I think is pretty decent but I was just wondering and looking for some others opinions on parts that he may get more out of for his price range.
He is looking to spend around 1500$'s roughly.

Didn't know what CPU cooler to get him if I was going with ryzen quite yet why there is none there.

Thanks for any replies in advance appreciate any and all suggestions.

I wouldn't get that memory kit. I have the same kit with my Ryzen 1700x and it's still running at 2133Mhz. I'd go with a g.skill set that's ryzen compatible that or check on MSI.com support page for that motherboard and select a compatible memory kit. That power supply is a good one but you can save some cost by cutting it down to a 600 or 650w unit. That rig won't use anywhere near 750w even with overclocking. As far as the CPU cooler is concerned I believe the 1600 comes with the wraith spire cooler. That should be plenty enough unless you plan to overclock.
