We love you Ukraine
What graphics card are you pairing it with?

What monitor are you pairing the build with? What make and model?

What's your max budget?

How much does that build come to?

What's the build for? If gaming, what kinds of games?

The build doesn't look very well balanced, so answers on the questions above could help improve it a lot.

Merged with existing topic on same issue

As above I'd suggest addressing the other issues with the spec before splitting hairs on the CPU cooler

Hello,

I'm going to be using the GTX 1050TI, although I'll soon be upgrading this.

The monitor will be an AOC E2460SH

The build comes to £550, I have my own SSD and HDD to add at home when it arrives

This will be for gaming. Mainly simulation games, and occasionally GTA/FIFA.

My max budget is around £580 tbh.

EDIT: I'm very much willing to upgrade to a better PC monitor the next time I get paid. Any suggestions would be helpful
