Hey, I've built my PC however am not really satisfied with it, but would like some help regarding if the specific parts i'd exchange would be better / if there are even better ones.
I'd return current parts, so don't have to invest all that much for the new ones.

Following Order: CPU / Motherboard / CPU Cooler / Monitor

Current | New
AMD Ryzen 1600x (200€) | Intel i5 8600k (240€)
MSI PC Mate B350 (75€) | Asus Prime Z370-P (128€)
Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 (80€) | Cryorig H7 (50€)
AOC G2460PF (170€) | LG 24GM79G-B (180€)


Issues with current parts:

■ CPU: Not the expected performance

■ CPU Cooler: Thought it wouldn't be this loud (annoying when not hearing anything else..)

■ Monitor: Artifacts, especially when using DisplayPort

Why I selected these new parts:

■ The i5 should be better in games, especially in those who utilize only a single core - however would it be possible to stream with it as well (though that's not a priority)?

■ I chose the Asus Motherboard due to its good reviews, being able to OC well and it being Black / White (which ended up being the theme of my build).

■ Read good things about the Cryorig H7, however also about the Arctic i32, so not sure here. Priority it being good while on heavy load, but not too noisy when nothing is going on.

■ The LG Monitor doesn't cost too much more than the AOC one, while also apparently being quite good? Or are there better alternatives?
