I thought about changing the case to the 5000D though not sure why other than spending too much time on this site.

I love gaming, this is my first gaming PC and suppose I want to make sure I am spending wisely. Also Bored!

Remove Bullguard and go for the H115i Elite CPU cooler. Outside of that nothing I'd change personally
Think that sums it up nicely, as it's a fairly solid build
Actually, lads, I believe the case wouldn’t accommodate the larger radiator of the H115i Elite so I’m afraid that suggestion is moot. And the H100i RGB Platinum absolutely fine for the eight core Ryzen CPU, I’ve got one on mine and it’s a peach 🙂

But yeah, drop BullGuard. It’s garbage. And I’d seriously consider the silver warranty for the extra few euros.

Good build, @MarcMorrow138. You’ve nailed it 👍
