The CPU cooler isn't worth it since the standard one will perform similarly. The 3060 12G offers poor value. You should save on the case instead.

The 6600 is a stronger option compared to the 3060 IMO. This allows swapping the 5600 for a 7600 as well. It offers improved performance (though it's unclear if this really matters), and better upgrade potential for similar investments.

6600's absence of Vram would pose a significant challenge

I believe 8GB remains sufficient, he won't be using ultra 1440p with this configuration.

8GB is insufficient even in 1080p for many games today. With consoles offering 12GB and 16GB, most titles now require at least 12GB. For PCs focused on esports, 8GB might still work temporarily, but it’s best to skip it for longer-term use since its lifespan will be limited.

I updated the case price and found a more affordable cooler option. For GPUs under $850, consider the RTX 4060 or RX 6500 XT. Let me know if you need more details!

The stock cooler is included with the CPU, so you don't have to choose one on PCPartPicker. Hold on while I send over an improved build.

@Rikothegamer This is a decent value build in your budget but you could do alot better in terms of value by going used PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor ($134.99 @ B&H) Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M K Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($84.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Silicon Power GAMING 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($33.97 @ Amazon) Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($64.98 @ Amazon) Video Card: ASRock Radeon RX6700XT PGD 12GO Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card ($339.99 @ Newegg) Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($44.94 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 (2024) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg) Total: $783.85 Here are some altervative builds. They are imo where the value for money is right now, but they are at higher budgets: PCPartPicker Part List Video Card: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB Video Card ($439.99 @ Amazon) Total: $883.85 PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor ($209.07 @ Newegg) Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-P Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith Gaming 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($87.29 @ Amazon) Total: $946.25 PCPartPicker Part List Video Card: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB Video Card ($439.99 @ Amazon) Total: $1046.25

Some CPUs are sold without a built-in cooler, though the 5600 and 7600 models include one
