Hello everyone,

I'm helping a friend build a new pc on a budget, i did a build using all the budget he has and I'd like some opinions.

Note: we dont have as much of a selection of parts where we live and amazon isn't worth ordering because of tax, but I'd still love some suggestions and hopefully the parts will be available here.

This is the current build :

I couldnt find the case in PPP but its the IPPON Case Thunder 2 White.



Edit: im thinking about switch the 2600 for a 3600 its abit over the budget but i think its worth it.
 
Solution
The supplied cooler is fine.

I would use a intel 660P 500gb pcie m.2 ssd for everything and skip the HDD.
You might even be able to fit the 1tb unit in your budget.

The corsair green unit power supplies are not considered as reliable, but they are not dangerous.
Try to find a tier 2/3 unit from a list such as this:
Seasonic is always good

You could definitely save some money on that motherboard:

Also cut that power supply pricetag in half:
