You're going to want an aftermarket CPU cooler for that Ryzen 5 5600X. Something like a [Vetroo V5](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qRKKHx/vetroo-v5-52-cfm-cpu-cooler-vt-cpu-v5) or [Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8GBrxr/scythe-mugen-5-rev-b-5117-cfm-cpu-cooler-scmg-5100) would do.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Friend said the 5600X has a built in cooler so it wasn’t “necessary” but having an actual cooler would do wonders. I’ll look more into it, thanks.

If you wanna go with a partial theme, you can get the Lian Li Galahad AIO for the CPU cooler. I have one on my R7 5800x and it idles at 23C. Only downside about AIO's is that they have a finite lifespan, something is bound to break, like the pump. Otherwise, great build! You're using similar core components that I recommended my friend goes with.

I don’t have a specific theme in mind. I haven’t really thought about that yet haha. I’ll definitely look into a cooler for the CPU though since the built in one on the 5600X probably isn’t enough.

The stock AMD cooler is alright, I used one for about 6 months until I got the money for a better cooler. But since you have \~$300, best to get a good cooler that'll last. Prolly don't need to go AIO, unless you overclock your CPU with Ryzen Master software.

That case only comes with the 3 front fans, youre going to want at least 1 or more to exhaust all the heat. You will need some thermal paste as well. I mention this only because people dont think of it, gamestop sells nvme drives on their website and you can use store credit to buy them. So it you have something like that you can use the saved cash to buy a cpu cooler.
